Capacity24: Decision Intelligence with AI inside
Businesses are focusing attention on transformation, digitization, and simplification programs. The need to do more with what you have has never been stronger. Today, operations are in a prime position to lead from the front and drive these three types of change. AI is enabling step changes in capability and empowering operations to make better decisions, faster. We call this Decision Intelligence.
At Capacity24, we’ve focused on the value that Decision Intelligence—with AI inside—delivers for our customers. Hearing their stories, understanding their drivers, and learning about the outcomes they’ve experienced will hopefully inspire visitors to this page. Our Olympic keynote speakers add an extra dimension to understanding the impact of data on performance and how the best decisions are made in the moment.
We hope you enjoy!
Data-driven performance and decision-making
The next wave of operations is here: a future that is AI-driven and packed with real-time data.
We explored AI and data-driven decision-making from two perspectives: sports performance and the academic research on the future of operations and operational innovation.
