The critical concepts are:
Forget the optimization / AI distinction, it is analytics without borders (AWB) to create an intelligent solution to improve organizational performance
Success requires work in the trenches and a small team of agents of change
A management team willing to invest in pushing the envelope
Complexity exits whether you ignore it or not, success requires not ignoring it
These core concepts are always demonstrated in the Edelman Competition - this year in abundance

Hi Ashley,
Their project, the Hub Efficiency Analytics Tool (HEAT), utilized optimization and AI techniques to manage flight operations during severe weather disruptions effectively. This technology dynamically adjusts flight departures, ensuring the smooth movement of passengers, crew, and aircraft. Since its implementation, HEAT has significantly reduced flight cancellations, showcasing the powerful impact of advanced analytics in operational efficiency and customer service. This example from American Airlines illustrates the transformative potential of analytics in addressing complex, real-world problems, as celebrated by the Franz Edelman Award.
