What on Earth is Going on?...with Rebalancing SocietyDo the problems we face today -- political gridlock, climate change, social upheaval, accelerating economic inequality -- stem from fundamental imbalances in our society and thinking?

Ben sits down with world-renowned scholar of management, Henry Mintzberg, about these questions and many others.

Linear DigressionsInterview with Prof. Andrew Lo, on using data science to inform complex business decisionsThis episode features Prof. Andrew Lo, the author of a paper that we discussed recently on Linear Digressions, in which Prof. Lo uses data to predict whether a medicine in the development pipeline will eventually go on to win FDA approval. This episode gets into the story behind that paper: how the approval prospects of different drugs inform the investment decisions of pharma companies, how to stitch together siloed and incomplete datasts to form a coherent picture, and how the academics building some of these models think about when and how their work can make it out of academia and...
2019-12-1627 minLinear DigressionsUsing machine learning to predict drug approvalsOne of the hottest areas in data science and machine learning right now is healthcare: the size of the healthcare industry, the amount of data it generates, and the myriad improvements possible in the healthcare system lay the groundwork for compelling, innovative new data initiatives. One spot that drives much of the cost of medicine is the riskiness of developing new drugs: drug trials can cost hundreds of millions of dollars to run and, especially given that numerous medicines end up failing to get approval from the FDA, pharmaceutical companies want to have as much insight as possible about whether...

Counterpoints: The Sports Analytics Podcast from MIT Sloan Management ReviewSecond-Grade Soccer SuperstarsEven as soccer has become a multibillion-dollar business, with superstar transfer fees exceeding nine digits figures in euros, the best clubs can still gain a competitive advantage through their youth academies. Ajax, FC Barcelona, and Manchester United are just a few examples of teams that have consistently developed diamonds in the rough into championship contributors. But to develop those players, first you have to find them â and find them before anyone else does. At Chelsea Football Club, home to an academy that has recently produced burgeoning talents like Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, some of that responsibility falls on th...

Counterpoints: The Sports Analytics Podcast from MIT Sloan Management Review"Out-getting" Is the Next Great Baseball Strategy. Or Not.Most Counterpoints listeners are well familiar with the sweeping changes that Moneyball brought to offensive strategy in baseball. Are we now on the cusp of a similarly profound transformation of pitching? Some believe the practice of "out-getting" is just that. Out-getting focuses getting outs as efficiently as possible, irrelevant of who gets them, when, and how. It upends traditional convention about how long or frequently a pitcher should pitch, in which role, or in which circumstances. Will out-getting prove to be a Moneyball-level transformation that ushers in fundamental change or just an occasional strategy deployed as much by desperation as...

Counterpoints: The Sports Analytics Podcast from MIT Sloan Management ReviewSo, Do Analytics Actually Work?In this weekâs episode, we take on a question that could lead to an existential crisis for this very podcast: How much of a difference do analytics actually make? Weâd better hope the answer is that analytics make a big difference. The emergence of sports analytics has spawned quite an industry already, and it promises a great deal of growth still to come. We donât want to be overly dramatic, but there are jobs on the line. Nevertheless, we have a duty on this podcast to take on the hard questions. Analytics naysayers and doubters abound. Do the...

Counterpoints: The Sports Analytics Podcast from MIT Sloan Management ReviewThe Quest to Measure Basketball IQBasketball IQ is one of the gameâs holy analytical grails. We know itâs there, or at least we think we know itâs there. But what is it even made of? Intuition? Vision? Knowledge of the game? Or is it simply natural intelligence and brain processing speed applied to a specific context? Former director of sports analytics at ESPN Ben Alamar is one of sportsâ leading proponents for and experts in basketball IQ.
