Metrics miss why. Behavioral data tracks what happened, but it rarely explains why customers act or leave. Feedback loops fill in those gaps. Ask, act, announce. Closing the loop requires three steps.

Feedback loops identified in a study could heat the Earth beyond anything humans can control, scientists have found. A team of international scientists, including ones from Oregon State University, ...

In an increasingly “smart” world, data is being created everywhere. Engineers and manufacturers generate massive amounts of data for every part, process and product made. However, the future of ...
