The lecture was delivered by Gary Cokins, the Founder of Analytics-Based Performance Management LLC, Cary, North Carolina USA. Speaking at the event through Zoom, Mr.

Former Consultant at leading Firms such as KPMG, Deliotte, FMC Corporation and author of renowned books and articles, Gary highlighted the underlying purpose of analytics, i.e. “Better decisions for Better Actions”. He also explained the evolution of analytics from being descriptive to diagnostic to predictive to being prescriptive.
