What Exactly The Heck Are Prescriptive Analytics?

Blog: Decision Management Community

Mike Gualtierimedicinebottlesmall from Forrester published this article. Here is his introduction: “Prescriptive analytics is about using data and analytics to improve decisions and therefore the effectiveness of actions. Isn’t that what all analytics should be about? A hearty “yes” to that because, if analytics does not lead to more informed decisions and more effective actions, then why do it at all? Many wrongly and incompletely define prescriptive analytics as the what comes after predictive analytics. Our research indicates that prescriptive analytics is not a specific type of analytics, but rather an umbrella term for many types of analytics that can improve decisions. Think of the term “prescriptive” as the goal of all these analytics — to make more effective decisions — rather than a specific analytical technique.” You may want to get the full report “Prescriptive Analytics: The Black Belt Of Digital Decisions
