Dr. Beverly Wright of aspirent Makes Six Predictions on the Future of Analytics By Dr. Beverly Wright Analytics have become an important part of the decision-making process for many companies in the past few decades, particularly with corporations using data assets as a core competency and point of origin. My work in the past few decades in the data and analysis field have brought forward six predicted trends to watch for in the near future: Companies articulate openly their need to shift their organizations culture to become more data-inspired in decision-making related to strategic and tactical decisions.

Buying a home is in many ways the pinnacle of the American dream. And yet the way things work today, it's a painful process. Real estate agents, brokers, banks, notaries, title insurers and many other intermediaries all make for a convoluted, difficult, and expensive process for home buyers and sellers alike. In this presentation from a16z's annual Summit event, a16z General Partner Alex Rampell explains how as consumers get used to less friction and more transparency in the age of mobile, software is finally beginning to disrupt buying a home -- from discovery to purchase to finance and more -- including even the nature of home ownership at its core.

3 things you need to do to be taken seriously at work I have three kids who are all in their twenties.

My response to them was that no adult ever needs to be asked to be treated like an adult.

Today Phone Calendar Ltd announces the release of Timeet for iOS and Android. Timeet breaks down the barriers between IM platforms and personal calendars by enabling users to send and manage calendar invites to any phone contact or share through any messaging platform without the need for the meeting or event organizer to know invitees email addresses. Meetings and events typically involve discussion around logistics, format or agenda. By offering event-specific chat, Timeet significantly eases the entire scheduling process. The idea evolved from the realization that while business schedules are typically well organized and synchronized, this is often not the case with personal schedules after hours and at weekends. As we researched why this is the case, it became clear that digital communication has changed beyond recognition over the last 20 years yet calendars have not kept up - relying on 20 year old email-based protocols. Timeet introduces scheduling as it should be - instant, ...

In his now annual state-of-innovation talk at the a16z Summit in November 2018, Andreessen Horowitz’ Benedict Evans walks through where we are now in software eating the world... and how things may continue to change over the next 10 years. What's the state of not just "the world of tech", but tech in the world? The access story is now coming to an end, observes Evans, but the use story is just beginning: Most of the people are now online, but most of the money is still not. If we think we're in a period of disruption right now, how will the next big platform shifts -- like machine learning -- impact huge swathes of retail, manufacturing, marketing, fintech, healthcare, entertainment, and more? Especially as technology begins to tackle bigger problems, in harder markets, at deeper (and more structural) levels?
