The Optimization Edge: Reinventing Decision Making to Maximize All Your Company's Assets
In “The Optimization Edge,” author and Princeton Consultants Founder and CEO Steve Sashihara introduces readers to optimization–a proven subset of AI powered by mathematics and special software that makes recommendations–in clear, nontechnical terms.
Based on Steve’s extensive experience working with major corporations across the industrial landscape, the book analyzes a variety of companies that are working on the frontier of Optimization.
“For executives who don’t have an optimization strategy, this book is a must read,” says Jim Goodnight, CEO of SAS. “There’s a good chance that the competition already has an active optimization battle plan—and the bottom-line savings to prove it.”
