How would you answer these questions?

We recently posed the following questions about analytics at work to the Annual Leadership Conference keynote speaker, Dr. Thomas Davenport.

1. How do analytics assist in making better decisions?
2. How are some leading health care organizations using analytics successfully? 
3. During this time of great change (Dr. Donald Berwick as the new Administrator of the CMS, health reform) how can the use of analytics help?
4. What are some of the successful characteristics of children’s hospitals leaders who understand the benefits of analytics?
5. What are some improvements that children’s hospital leaders can make to better leverage analytics?
6. What are some leaders doing that other leaders should be doing? 
7. What does the future of analytical competition hold?

How would you answer these questions?  What are your thoughts on analytics at work?
