Why Predictive Analytics Needs MO

Marketing is likely the most hungry consumer of PA

MO provides a robust application sandbox for PA

MO may very well own the business case for PA

If technology investment is part of the PA proposition (typical), MO may well own the deployment process

PA doesn’t operate in a vacuum – without MO to drive understanding and alignment and catalyze change, insight from PA may never translate to action

Why MO needs Predictive Analytics

PA enables MO to become more scientific, consistent, predictable

PA is a powerful tool to help demonstrate Marketing’s value

Helps focus on long-term initiatives, not just short-term results

PA is key to aligning vision with metrics, forecasts with results

PA is an indicator of MO maturity and an attribute of MO best practice
