Abstract

When an organization is new to Predictive Analytics, building a model is the easy part. Gaining cultural acceptance of Predictive Analytics and persuading people to trust in PA based decision making, based on the forecasts generated by the model, is far more difficult. In this paper some of the cultural challenges that organizations face when they implement PA for the first time are discussed, together with how these challenges can be over-come by taking a holistic approach to model development and implementation.
