Join industry professionals for the ProbabilityManagement.org
This year’s theme is Data, Decisions, and the Value of Information and we have a dynamic group of speakers lined up, including Doug Hubbard, author of the popular “How to Measure Anything” series; Dr. Allen Marr, Founder and CEO of Geocomp, a Boston area geotechnical engineering firm; and Keith Shepard of World Agroforestry (ICRAF) and Innovative Solutions for Decision Agriculture (ISDA).
These speakers and other pioneers in information economics and the internet of things will explore how the value of information calculations, decision analysis, and the intelligent acquisition of data are all improved by the discipline of probability management.
