MARCH 20, 2013 by Andy Maguire, Jean-Werner de T’Serclaes, Stefano Bison, and Nicole Mönter Return on equity (ROE) in the banking industry has dropped sharply from approximately 20 percent in the years leading up to the crisis to just over 10 percent now in developed markets. With distribution representing approximately 50 percent of total costs in these markets, it is clear that retail banks must broadly rethink their distribution strategies in order to adapt to the evolving landscape and changing customer needs. Best-practice distribution in 2020 will be characterized by higher-quality, higher-frequency interactions between customers and their retail banks.

Biologists Make a Computer From a Living Cell That Can Detect Cancer, See on Scoop.it – Corporate Challenge of Big Data Cells genetically programmed with a biological “AND” gate might, for instance, be used to detect and treat cancer, says Endy.
If protein A and protein B are present—where those proteins are characteristic of, say, breast cancer—then this could trigger the cell to produce protein C, a drug. In the cancer example, says Endy, you’d want the cell to respond to low levels of cancer markers (the signal) by producing a large amount of the drug. The signal can be amplified because one change in the cell’s DNA can lead the cell to produce a large amount of the output protein over time. Web.

Putting Predictive Analytics to Work CIO. June 27, 2012 06:00 AM ET Computerworld - The Orlando Magic's analytics team spent two years honing its skills on the business side. "Eighteen to 20 months ago, we knew virtually nothing about predictive analytics," says Anthony Perez, director of business strategy for the National Basketball Association franchise. While his team was in fact working on predictive analytics well before that, Perez added, their tools weren't powerful enough to give them insights they needed, and the group needed to scale up its efforts.
So Perez brought in new, more powerful software from SAS and began climbing the learning curve. Today, the established practice is not only helping optimize ticket sales but is also providing tools to help the coaching staff predict the best lineups for each basketball game, and which potential players offer the best value for the money.
