Competing on Analytics: The New Science of Winning
Davenport’s book was a trite overview replete with success stories. The ground reality is that analytics runs into problems; math phobia, technical issues and labor shortage stymie progress in this field.
Rating: 3 / 5
Davenport and Harris offer a practical guide to crossing the “Business Intelligence to Customer” chasm. There is a mind-numbing volume of available data being stored.Ironically, it’s a liability (from a data breach)and a grossly underutilized asset.
Meanwhile customers complain they can’t find what they want, the way they want to buy it. Companies continually struggle to build products that customers want.
This book offers real world, practical methods for every corporation to win new customer business by using data that their own customers are offering in their actual buying patterns.

Rating: 5 / 5
This book brings us the opportunity to place our business at the optimization level of performance. Reading it we perceive the importance of the effective use of data. Reports, queries and alerts are just the begining. The important data use level is the statistical analysis, forecasting/extrapolation, predictive modeling and finally optimization. At the optimization level you can make decisions about what is the best that can happen to your business.
This is a civilian structured version of the Military Decision Making Process. It is a reason why military officers usually become CEOs. They are constantly applying analytics in their jobs.
I recommend this easily read book to economists, managers and military officers.
Rating: 4 / 5
This book is meant for those who make things happen and need to gain a fresh perspective. It is not meant for those who know a lot but can’t make things happen yet keep looking for more information, while criticizing a good effort, which without doubt could have been better.
Rating: 4 / 5
Not a lot of meat to this topic other than the obvious. Not very exciting stuff.
