Business today is digital, every company is becoming a technology and data company.
What are the tech trends impacting businesses today and what’s predicted to come next? What does this mean for operational research? What problems will we be asked to solve in this new era? What skills will we need to do that? What change must you as the next generation of OR leaders drive to let us embrace this new world? Or are we going to let data scientists take our place.......”
