Analytics is now ubiquitous in the modern organisation. Many decisions, such as setting prices for thousands of items in a supermarket, are made by decision-support systems. While such analytics-based decision-support systems are becoming more commonplace, they are not always adopted as decision-makers consider the system to be a black-box. This talk will outline the problem and provide research-based solutions that assist in improving adoption rates of such systems.
