Credit: Thinkstock Drexel University and CIO.com are pleased to announce the winners of the first Analytics 50 Awards. The Analytics 50 represents the first of what we hope are many years of collaboration between CIO.com and Drexel University’s LeBow College of Business. The goal of the awards program is to honor 50 executives who are using analytics at their organizations to solve business challenges. By identifying these 50 leaders we hope to share best practices while also recognizing innovation in analytics. “We are extremely impressed with the company honorees and to learn how the use of innovative analytics has played a pivotal role in providing organizational solutions across industries,” says Murugan Anandarajan, PhD, Department Head of Decision Sciences and MIS at Drexel University. The Analytics 50 represents a broad spectrum of industries, ranging from pharmaceuticals and healthcare to sports and media. In the coming weeks, we’ll be digging into the winning entries to help other IT leaders deploy winning analytics initiatives at their companies. The winners will be recognized by Drexel’s LeBow College of Business and CIO.com at an Analytics 50 event on November 9, 2016, at Drexel University’s Philadelphia campus. (Click for larger image.)
