Workshop Description

Business metrics do a great job summarizing the past. But if you want to predict how customers will respond in the future, there is one place to turn — predictive analytics and machine learning. By learning from your abundant historical data, predictive analytics delivers something beyond standard business reports and sales forecasts: actionable predictions for each customer. These predictions encompass all channels, both online and off, foreseeing which customers will buy, click, respond, convert or cancel. If you predict it, you own it.

The customer predictions generated by predictive analytics deliver more relevant content to each customer, improving response rates, click rates, buying behavior, retention and overall profit. For online applications such as e-marketing and customer care recommendations, predictive analytics acts in real-time, dynamically selecting the ad, web content or cross-sell product each visitor is most likely to click on or respond to.

Predictive Analytics Applied is a self-paced online course instructed by the founder of Predictive Analytics World that covers the following topics:

  • Applications: Business, marketing and web problems solved with predictive analytics. The many ways its predictions can be used to drive various business decisions.
  • Core Technology: How a predictive model works and how it’s created with machine learning. What a predictive model looks like under the cover. What data is required for predictive modeling.
  • Evaluation: How well a predictive model works and how much revenue it generates
  • Management: Project leadership and business process for predictive analytics; the organizational challenges and how to overcome them.
  • Illustrations: Live demos and detailed case studies
  • Hands-on: “Get your hands dirty” with a revealing Excel-based exercise, bringing a predictive model to life and seeing it improve before your eyes

Online Course Content and Format:

Predictive Analytics Applied includes four jam-packed training modules of 60-90 minutes each, totaling 5 ½-hours of viewing time.

This online program is internationally-friendly (but is only available in English) – registrants have participated remotely from 31 countries: Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Isle of Man, Italy, Mexico, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Scotland, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, and Uruguay.

Online training participants receive:

  • Unlimited access for three months: View the training module videos as many times as desired for three months, easily skipping to any topic or sub-topic of the training program.
  • Certificate of completion (hard copy): An official Prediction Impact certificate with your name and the instructor’s signature.
  • Course materials book (PDF file): Over 100 pages of material, provided as a PDF, that corresponds with the presentation slides shown in the training videos (one book page per slide), and contains additional detailed notes, references and pointers to online resources.

Online Video Format. This online training program consists of high-quality videos recorded for online viewing (not the recording of a live seminar). The videos consist of training content, software demos and intermittent instructor appearances, with verbal instruction throughout. The video image is large – the resolution is 800 by 600 (960 by 655 including video control areas), which is a large portion of your screen – possibly the entirety of your screen, depending on its resolution.

Each of the four training modules of this self-paced e-learning program may be viewed at your convenience, pausing, rewinding and fast-forwarding as needed. Within each module, jump to each sub-topic immediately with a single click, and, within each sub-topic, step forward and back at will.

Since the contents are concentrated, a recommended pace is to view one module per week. On the faster side, the entire program may be “crammed” in just four days by viewing one 60-to-90 minute module per day.

In order to meet the unique training needs of business decision makers and analytics practitioners, this training program is:

  • Business-focused. Unlike other training programs that also cover scientific, engineering and medical applications of data mining and analytics, this seminar focuses squarely on solving business and marketing problems with these methods.
  • Comprehensive across business needs. Within this realm, however, we step beyond the standard application of response modeling for direct marketing to solve a wide range of business problems.
  • Vendor-neutral and method-neutral. This training program, which is not run by an analytics software vendor, provides a balanced view across analytics tools and methods.

Registrants for Predictive Analytics Applied receive:

  • On-demand access for three months: View the training module videos as many times as desired for three months, with easy navigation to any topic or sub-topic of the training program. This gives you the opportunity to revisit portions of the course as needed, even after attending Predictive Analytics World.
  • Course materials book (PDF file): Over 100 pages of material, provided as a PDF, that corresponds with the presentation slides shown in the training videos (one book page per slide), and contains additional detailed notes, references and pointers to online resources.
  • Certificate of completion (hard copy): An official Prediction Impact certificate with your name and the instructor’s signature.
