Keynote Presentation:
Visualize Tomorrow’s History, Today…
A Look at the Future of Planning and Managing Project Portfolios and Clinical Trials
Sam Batterman, Microsoft
In today’s volatile world we are asked to make decisions impacting the future of our companies based on a sea of data that’s displayed in diverse formats, whether in a digital form like a dashboard or analog like traditional paper reports. Most of the time this data is all in the rear view mirror—the history of a project, with little to no regard of prediction and trajectories of the trends we have already collected, but those limited and risky methods of interpreting data are coming to an end.
With a clinical trial environment as the setting, see an example of tomorrow’s history, today—fusing together the predictive analytic power of ProModel’s sophisticated simulation tools with Microsoft’s collaboration and development technologies.
