Predictive Analytics: The Next Wave in Business IntelligencePerficient, Inc.
We discuss how Predictive Analytics enables decision makers to predict future events and proactively act on that insight to drive better business outcomes and deliver the insight needed to answer key business questions:
- How to reduce churn and retain the most loyal customers to maximize profitability (predict which customers are most likely to leave and which are most loyal)
- How to detect and ultimately prevent fraudulent activity
- Which factors are most likely to drive customers to choose my product over the competitor’s?
- How to integrate Predictive Analytics with an existing Business Intelligence platform
Presenter Tom Lennon is Director of Perficient's National Business Intelligence Competency Center.
Predictive analytic models are not new within many analytical organizations. However, the use of predictive analytics is growing rapidly. Data-driven decision-making initiatives are compelling more and more enterprises to move their analytics efforts beyond the basics. Enterprises must go from measurement and reporting to predictions and decision management. With ever-increasing amounts of historical data ready for mining, the right predictive analytic models can help an enterprise understand future behavior – adherence to medical prescriptions, increased or decreased spending, loan repayment, and more. By driving better decision-making, such insights can be transformative. Join us as we look into best-practices for building a predictive enterprise, technology tips for using and implementing predictive analytics tools, and guidelines for building predictive models.

The need to adapt quickly only continues to increase. Decision cycles can no longer span weeks and months, but must occur in days or even hours. Traditional methods for managing data cannot fulfill this business requirement. Rather, organizations must embrace new technologies and practices for accessing, processing and delivering not just data, but also analytical models. In doing so, they will achieve a level of decision management that can fundamentally transform how their business works.
Register for this episode of Hot Technologies to hear veteran Analysts Rick Sherman of Athena IT Solutions, and Wayne Eckerson of Eckerson Group, as they give their insights on how today's analytics leaders are solving serious challenges by connecting data and experience. They'll be briefed by David Ross of FICO, who will outline his firm's recent innovations in turning analytical insights into actionable strategies that deliver results faster.

Combined cycle plants may have fewer moving parts than coal plants, but that does not mean that their operations are any easier to analyze. Relatively limited operating experience and sparse data allow beliefs to take root—some well-founded and others less so. This report takes a quick look at three such beliefs and offers some tantalizing, although preliminary, observations on these questions:
Do higher capacity factors really result in lower non-fuel costs?
Do older units that start more frequently have higher non-fuel costs?
Do merchant operators do a better job of cost containment compared to rate base operators?

California’s Combined Cycle Costs in the Age of the Duck CurveScottMadden, Inc.
This document summarizes a study examining the impacts of renewable energy penetration on the costs of operating combined-cycle natural gas power plants in California. The key findings are:
1) The capacity factors of combined-cycle plants in California have remained flat since 2012, declining year-over-year from 2015 to 2016, despite these plants cycling more to support ramping needs from renewable energy.
2) The non-fuel operating and maintenance costs per megawatt-hour for combined-cycle plants in California more than doubled from 2006 to 2016, indicating these increased cycling costs are driving costs up.
3) In contrast, comparable combined-cycle plants in regions with lower renewable penetration like the Southeastern US have seen

Decolonizing Universal Design for LearningFrederic Fovet
UDL has gained in popularity over the last decade both in the K-12 and the post-secondary sectors. The usefulness of UDL to create inclusive learning experiences for the full array of diverse learners has been well documented in the literature, and there is now increasing scholarship examining the process of integrating UDL strategically across organisations. One concern, however, remains under-reported and under-researched. Much of the scholarship on UDL ironically remains while and Eurocentric. Even if UDL, as a discourse, considers the decolonization of the curriculum, it is abundantly clear that the research and advocacy related to UDL originates almost exclusively from the Global North and from a Euro-Caucasian authorship. It is argued that it is high time for the way UDL has been monopolized by Global North scholars and practitioners to be challenged. Voices discussing and framing UDL, from the Global South and Indigenous communities, must be amplified and showcased in order to rectify this glaring imbalance and contradiction.
This session represents an opportunity for the author to reflect on a volume he has just finished editing entitled Decolonizing UDL and to highlight and share insights into the key innovations, promising practices, and calls for change, originating from the Global South and Indigenous Communities, that have woven the canvas of this book. The session seeks to create a space for critical dialogue, for the challenging of existing power dynamics within the UDL scholarship, and for the emergence of transformative voices from underrepresented communities. The workshop will use the UDL principles scrupulously to engage participants in diverse ways (challenging single story approaches to the narrative that surrounds UDL implementation) , as well as offer multiple means of action and expression for them to gain ownership over the key themes and concerns of the session (by encouraging a broad range of interventions, contributions, and stances).
