"In an era where data is pivotal to gain a competitive advantage, Decision-Driven Analytics is the book you need to read. The authors argue in a provocative yet brilliant way that data analytics is too often seen as an end in itself—we’re a data-driven company!—whereas what we learn from data should be a means to an end, with that end being the ability to make better decisions. They present a compelling case for decision-driven analytics, based on cutting-edge research and real-world examples."
Neil Hoyne
"Decision-Driven Analytics brings new ideas and enthusiastic energy to an area of data where complacency otherwise reigns supreme.

This is fuel for the curious leaders and the ambitious visionaries served straight-up without pretension."

Gabriel Straub
"I first came across De Langhe and Puntoni’s work when I was forwarded an article they had written on decision-driven analytics. What struck me was the clarity with which they argued why starting with the decision and not the data is key. It’s great to see that there is now a book full of practical advice on the topic to help your organization make better decisions."
Abhi Ingle
"In a world awash with data and powerful analytic technology including AI, the role that senior decision-makers play in framing the right decisions, questions and interpreting the analytics delivered is increasingly critical. Puntoni and De Langhe provide a framework for doing so in an eminently readable and pithy book."
