GE Digital | Analytics Driven Operational Excellence

• Paul Casto, Senior Industry Principal at GE Digital

Digital initiatives and technology spending in the oil & gas and chemical markets continue to surge with 90% of companies increasing spending on digital over the next two years and 87% indicating that they are using advanced analytics as they look to use data to increase productivity .1 But… According to Gartner, through 2022, only 20% of analytic insights will deliver business outcomes. Gartner also states that “80% of AI projects will remain alchemy, run by wizards whose talents will not scale in the organization.

How many times have you been part of a software implementation where you look up 12-18 months after go live and say “where’s the ROI? Did we move the needle?”. Many teams spend lots of time building the upfront business case to substantiate investment in software and analytics but fail to implement proper governance to track and measure their progress against the business case.

Data Science and analytics are powerful tools for any business, but the success and scalability is dependent on getting these insights into the hands of the people, business functions and work processes that ultimately are tasked with delivering businesses objectives and achieving operational excellence.

Join GE Digital to see how we are helping companies operationalize analytics technology embedded in the core work processes of your organization in the areas of safety, reliability, compliance and operational efficiency.
