Moneyball’s Billy Beane to Keynote OPTIMA

To kick off OPTIMA on November 21, 2019, the opening keynote speaker
will be Billy Beane, former Major League Baseball (MLB) player
turned EVP and minority owner of the Oakland A’s, who pioneered
statistical analysis in baseball—otherwise known as “Moneyball.”

“While baseball compiles stats on players and improves the odds of
putting the right players on the right team, there hasn’t been a
‘Moneyball’ in business—until now,” said CEO of The Predictive Index
Mike Zani. “Talent optimization is Moneyball for business, and it
empowers business leaders with the people data they need to
intentionally, consistently, and strategically design great teams and
culture.”

At OPTIMA, Beane will discuss why leaving team-building to chance is the
most damaging decision business leaders can make; and how talent
optimization helps improve the odds of creating winning teams and drives
a company’s performance to levels never thought possible.

All-Star Lineup of Keynote Speakers

The OPTIMA lineup of keynote speakers does not end there. David
Cancel, CEO of Drift and author of Hypergrowth, closes day
one with business strategies on how to build great teams and product
through a customer-first model. Baker Foundation Harvard Business
School Professor Lynda Applegate opens day two with an
interactive discussion on the practical application of talent
optimization to grow one’s business.

speakers, and award-winning entertainment coming soon! Register at: https://optimaconference.com/.
