The St. Andrew’s Heart of the City speaker series goes to the ball game this month. And it’s not the same old game anymore. Today, data are transforming business—and professional sport. Game data and statistics are collected, tracked and analysed in completely new ways. Data are the new competitive advantage. Andrew Miller, EVP, Business Operations, joined the Toronto Blue Jays in May, 2016. He oversees the business side of the Toronto Blue Jays and partners with other members of senior leadership to create and implement organizational strategy. He’ll discuss the need for creative competitive advantages through use of data, history of use of data in baseball decision making and examples of applications of data-informed decision-making. And he may also talk a bit about the Toronto Blue Jays’ playoff chances.
