Hi, welcome to another of our Coffee Time Chats. Today we are joined again by:

🔹Apo Demirtas, Founder & CEO at HotelIQ Decision Cloud, one of our Expert Partners

In this discussion we hear how Apo defines decision intelligence; outlines how data is only valuable when organised, analysed and acted on; why forecasting is not a one snapshot task and why we should be predicting on a daily basis to ensure we don’t have knee-jerk reactions to events out of our control

Hope you enjoy the discussion👍
