MAXIMIZING IMPACT WITH SELF-SERVICE ANALYTICS
Keynote Overview
Data science is far too often a siloed team and initiative within an organization. Disparate processes and coders working in the dark often lead to lesser impact and no clear path forward. In this session, Santo Fortebuono, AVP of Enterprise Risk Management Technology Solutions at Lincoln Financial Group, will delve into how he used self-service analytics via a data science platform to gain internal alignment across people, processes, and technology, allowing them to maximize efficiency, get data in near real time, perform advanced analytics, and standardize data for Lincoln Financial Group.
