Preview of Analytics in Financial Services (March 30th Event w/ TDWI and NY Tech Council)
On March 30th, at TDWI’s Tri-State Area Chapter seminar, I’ll be giving the keynote address to discuss how analytics can be practically used to make better business decisions. This theme in my speech, practical uses of analytics, I feel, captures the essence of this event – a different type of analytics event – it’s focused on giving the audience practical takeaways they can use to improve results at their job and build their career further.

About the Panelists – Practical Stories from the Trenches
Our goal is to share more based on my experience and on the experience of analysts in the trenches…. goal is to share practical insights…I will do this with the help of the other panelists:
- John Ruda of TDAI has been able to better predict and sense if a customer is less satisfied and may leave…being able to sense this early has allowed TDA to save millions of dollars
- Denis Mrkva, of Hartford Insurance Company, he’ll be talking about how they built a tool to substantially improve impact of marketing investments targeting consumers across a variety of channels
Overall, we will try to make financial services analytics more accessible, actionable, practical and doable.
So much Information, So Little Practical Analytics that “Works”
The bottom line when discussing analytics is that when it works, it can add huge value; however in the world of analytics there is a deluge of information, technology and analytic options – so much so that I’ve noticed a pervasive frustration in the business community that analytics solutions do not work smoothly or often enough. Together with the TDWI, New York Technology Council, and event sponsors, we’re going to take a step toward fixing this problem. In my keynote, and in this event, we’ll try and bridge the gap between the awesome potential of analytics and the complexity of figuring out how to realize that potential.
We will discuss the key drivers of results in a number of key business models in financial services, and we will be clear about the decisions we need to make to improve results in these business models, without overcomplicating the analysis. We will share with you a simpler way to translate a business decision that needs to be made into an analytics method that is fit with purpose…in the trenches practitioners have figured this out but there’s not a lot of sharing of how to best do this…our goal is to share more…based on real experiences of myself and others.
Benefits to Attendees Interested in Analytics
While this event is a financial services event, it can be useful for those not in financial services. We’ll be using a set of universal frameworks to distill business models, find points of opportunity and choose the best way to address this opportunity via analytics; these frameworks can be applied in any industry where high-stakes business decisions are made. So if you’re interested in analytics, this is an ideal event for you.
Benefits to Students or Job Seekers
This is the perfect event for anyone who’s entering or aspires to enter the field of financial services (investment bankers, or financial services professional in retail, insurance, consumer banking, credit cards). I guarantee you’ll walk away with practical takeaways you can use back in the office or to turbo-charge your career.

Jaime Fitzgerald will be delivering the keynote at this conference emphasizing practical take-aways.
The financial services industry is inherently data-driven. In recent years, our ability to store, retrieve and analyze massive volumes of data has exploded, creating new opportunities as well as new challenges. Investment banks, retail financial services firms, and insurance companies are at the forefront of this data revolution.
How are Wall Street innovators using analytics to compete and succeed? What tools and tactics do they use to turn data into value? What are the pitfalls and cautionary tales associated with data-driven tools, techniques, and technologies?
At this half-day joint event of the New York Technology Council and The Data Warehouse Institute (TDWI) Tri-State Area Chapter, our keynote speaker and industry panelists will explore this topic.
On top of this content, the event will be a great networking event -- about 200 people have already registered!

What Motivates Analytic Professionals?
There are many reasons why we love or hate our jobs.
Professional analysts: what motivates YOU the most? If you could design the perfect job in analytics, what is the key?
For example, are you motivated by the nature of the work, the types of problems you solve, the financial incentives, career path upside, or something else?
Update End of Year 2010:
Hi fellow professionals -- thanks so much for all your comments on this thread. We hosted this discussion both HERE and on the Fitzgerald Analytics page on AnalyticBridge. Both the number, and the quality, of the posts exceeded my expectations. In about 1 week we are going to "close the window" on comments for this round, so we can plan and pursue next steps to research the topic further...and will be reaching out to all of you to invite your participation in that next round of discovery.
In the meantime if you have not commented YET, please do this week! I'm super grateful, and will do whatever I can to make it worth your while as we pursue this further.
Cheers,
Jaime Fitzgerald

Analytics Career Paths: Still a Promising Road...
While many predictions about the impact of the internet on our lives have required "heavy edits" or revisions, this article about careers in analytics seems like it could have been written yesterday. The actual dateline? July 4th 2001. (The article focused especially on web analytics, but the thesis applies more broadly in both online, offline, and hybrid contexts.)
As I mentioned in a comment to the author, at Fitzgerald Analytics we feel as certain in 2007 as she was in 2001 regarding the growing demand for Analytic experience.
For job seekers who share our interest, and confidence, in the continued growth of the analytics career path, take a look at the Analytics Career Path at Fitzgerald Analytics :-). If I can be of further assistance on this topic, don't hesitate to contact me.
