I Support Organizations as They Make High-Value Decisions in Complex Situations
Created 11 years ago in Skills & Management / Other

I can help you to maximize value from your complex decisions, by helping to guide you through how to best extract value from your data, analytics (neural networks, regression, decision trees, machine learning, and more), and human expertise. I can take you through a structured process for analyzing the components of a decision (outcomes, assumptions, data, cause-and-effect). I can help you to support each part in detail to ensure you'll achieve the best outcomes. I have consulted with Fortune 500 organizations worldwide (HP, RBS, Microsoft, and more) and am a recognized writer and speaker.

I love to help organizations break through the barriers to applying AI and DI in practice. I've been doing this for decades, and have the scars and stories to help you. I have three CS degrees, two TEDx talks, an award-nominated book, and have appeared on CSPAN and NPR. I am recognized by the Women Innovators and Inventors Project. I've delivered machine learning for 30 years: to the Human Genome Project, the Department of Energy, the AO of the US Courts, the CBI, health care startups, NLP projects, and more.

Dr. Pratt understood information flow, artificial intelligence approaches, and computer algorithms at a level that put her at the top of her field. Dr. Pratt and I worked together and I found her to be an excellent teacher and colleague and would highly recommend her for any position she felt qualified to take on.

Lorien is simply the one of the brightest, hardest working and most creative individuals I have ever worked with in my 20+ years in the field of technology analysis.
She transformed Stratecast's OSS practice, taking an already highly successful program and making it perhaps the most respected OSS analysis program in the industry, as well as consistently among the best performing of Stratecast's many excellent analysis programs from a business perspective.
Her work with clients - from advising at the highest strategic executive level to supporting tactical decisions in real time - consistently provided the utmost in actionable value and was actively recognized as such by those clients.
She is an accomplished speaker and highly respected scholar in a number of technology fields.
From both a personal and professional standpoint, Lorien has been a major asset for me and I am absolutely confident in stating she will add massive, measurable value in any endeavor she takes on.
