IBM Research On Business Analytics and Optimization for the Intelligent Enterprise

[zamir]

Here is a survey from IBM's Institute for Business Value.

"The IBM Institute for Business Value is comprised of more than 50 consultants who conduct research and analysis across multiple industries and functional disciplines. The institute has a worldwide presence, drawing on consultants in eleven countries to identify issues of global interest and to develop practical recommendations with local relevance."

I'm not sure if there are any local Institute for Business Value consultants in Australia or New Zealand.

The attached report is by Steve LaValle and is based on a survey of 225 business leaders worldwide. I think that it is well worth reading and contains a number of interesting details for those of us trying to make local analytics-based organisations. It's only 20 pages long.

GBS03044USEN.pdf (726.2 KB) is the 4 page executive summary and GBE03211USEN.pdf (264.1 KB) is the full report (strangely a much smaller file than the 'summary'!)
