Introduction

This is Part 2 of my series of why GM is such a great company and why it is fun to work here. The Part 1 article from early last year can be viewed by clicking here. More examples will be added to this article over time.

First, you must understand that to work in advanced analytics at GM, you have to be able to “Visualize the Magic”, as I was explaining to my 4-year old the other day. You have to look forwards and backwards in time to do descriptive, prescriptive and predictive analytics. It also helps a lot if you know how to perform the magic in Alteryx and Tableau!

Click here or on Figure 2 to read about how GM is now offering a rear-sear reminder on the 2017 Acadia. How many more tragic cases of “I forgot my kid in the back seat!” do we have to witness before doing something about IT? GM IT is doing something about IT!
