Tools for Decision Making: Innovating in a Changing World
Details
Big data, small data. Data from wearables. Data is everywhere. But how can you use data to grow your business? The Internet of Things is another phrase you keep hearing – but how can your business leverage data from all these sources to gain advantage over your competitors?
Join us for this morning conference at Montclair State where we will explore the uses of data and Internet of Things to improve decision making in your business to grow your business faster and smarter.
Event also features a keynote address by Michele Brown, CEO of Choose NJ and former CEO of the NJ Economic Development Authority.
This event is presented by Montclair State, Commerce & Industry Association of NJ (http://www.cianj.org/), Meadowlands Regional Chamber of Commerce (http://www.meadowlands.org/), and Newark Regional Business Partnership (http://www.newarkrbp.org/).
