Thomas Davenport to Keynote KnowledgeAdvisors Analytics Symposium

Renowned Author and Consultant to Explain How Analytics Can and be Applied to Help Organizations Compete More Effectively

Chicago [February 2, 2009] KnowledgeAdvisors announced today that respected business strategy analyst Thomas H. Davenport, author of Competing on Analytics: The New Science of Winning, will deliver the Keynote Address at the 2009 KnowledgeAdvisors Analytics Symposium on March 5, 2009 in Tucson, AZ.

Mr. Davenport is a strong advocate of organizations leveraging key analytics to gain competitive advantage in the marketplace. In his most recent book, Competing on Analytics: The New Science of Winning, Mr. Davenport proposes that high-performing enterprises have adopted a data-driven approach to decision-making, giving them an edge on competitors who are not dedicated to using analytics in the same way.

“KnowledgeAdvisors’ believes that the premise of Tom Davenport’s work as an author and consultant has far reaching implications within organizational learning and development, human resources, and talent management processes today more than ever,” said Kent D. Barnett, Chairman and CEO, KnowledgeAdvisors
