We all want our work to enrich the world. As analytics professionals, we are fortunate–this is our time! We live in a world of pervasive data and ubiquitous, powerful computation. This convergence has inspired new applications and accelerated the development of novel analytic techniques and tools, while breathing new life into decades-old approaches that were previously too dataor computation-intensive to be of practical value. The potential for analytics to have an impact has been a call to action for organizations of all types and sizes. Companies are creating new C-level positions and departments to grow analytic capability. A torrent of new start-ups have formed to sell analytics products and services. Even governments have created new high-profile offices to leverage analytics. These changes have driven a surge in demand for analytics professionals, and universities are creating departments, curricula, and new program offerings to fill the gap. But what exactly dowemeanwhenwe say “analytics”? The term is widely used, but has vastly different meanings to different people and communities. A number of well-established disciplines, including statistics, operations research, economics, computer science, industrial engineering, and mathematics, have some claim to “analytics” and interpret it to have specialized meaning within their domains. The popular usage of the term is often comingled with other widely used but equally overloaded terms such as “big data,” “data science,” “machine learning,” “artificial intelligence,” and “cognitive computing.” As a result, this seemingly innocuous term has led to much confusion over the last decade as people using the same language often talk right past each other. In the authors’ own experience, frustration at all levels of an organization is inevitable when well-intentioned and intelligent people believe they have a shared","PeriodicalId":158251,"journal":{"name":"INFORMS Analytics Body of Knowledge","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131552088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
