Focus on decisions, figure out how to improve them and go on improving them ad infinitum. Mary Grace

As the cliché' goes --its where the rubber meets to road . The "O"bjective behind APPLIED math and data analysis is not limited to conducting exercises resulting in producing a report for reporting sake. it is about "O"pening eyes to new insights and perspectives not yet considered. It is about "O"ptimizing people and processes so that large complex "O"rganizations can run more efficiently and effectively. Hey - check that out --I'm using "E" words to explain how OR and BI both can help with Enterprise Decision Management -- Efficient and Effective. OR can be a narrow beam of light focusing on department level or one process step -- or it can be applied in a SYSTEMS Analysis manner with the wide scope of view. OR and BI and EDM are not the synonyms - but they can all contribute and interact with the overall sense of IMPROVEMENT in mind!

OR and BI and EDM are not the synonyms - but they can all contribute and interact with the overall sense of IMPROVEMENT in mind!
