Interview: Anne Milley on people and analytics

In a very real sense, everything in an organization turns on its people. In this interview, Anne Milley talks about the importance of a “learning culture” as well as the need to balance human input (and its inevitable biases) with technology. She also explains how an “analytic center of excellence” can help maximize use of that scarce resource—high-end analysts.
