The Achieving Predictive Maturity report, published in association with RedEye, follows on from a survey of 400 marketers carried out for the 2016 Predictive Analytics Report and aims to examine how companies move from a limited state where they are ‘starting out’ through to a ‘strategic’ state where predictive capabilities lie at the heart of the business.
It is based on a series of interviews with senior practitioners along with insights from other primary Econsultancy research.
Key themes
The following themes are featured in the report:
- Having the right data remains the critical first step
- Data quality is an ongoing hygiene factor
