Some\n teams have hired statisticians. A small number of analytics consulting \nfirms have engaged with a limited number of teams. In general, most \nhockey teams do not use analytics as part of their decision making \nprocesses. To break this trend, The Sports Analytics Institute took an \napproach that focused on three key principals: infrastructure, \neducation and results. In this talk, Kevin Mongeon of the Sports Analytics Institute will discuss why analytics \nhave not previously been adopted into the mainstream, how their approach\n has been successful and how analytics can successfully be used in \nhockey.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EKevin Mongeon of the Sports Analytics Institute will lecture on \u0022Breaking Into an Industry: How to Successfully Use Analytics in Hockey\u0022 as part of the Sports Analytics Speaker Series.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFor more information, click \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.ti.gatech.edu\/basole\/seminar\/sportsanalytics\/talks\/mongeon-02092011.html\u0022\u003Ehere\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Kevin Mongeon of the Sports Analytics Institute will lecture on \u0022Breaking Into an Industry: How to Successfully Use Analytics in Hockey\u0022 as part of the Sports Analytics Speaker Series."}],"uid":"27445","created_gmt":"2011-02-08 13:54:39","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:54:00","author":"Amelia Pavlik","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2011-02-09T15:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2011-02-09T17:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2011-02-09T17:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2011-02-09 20:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2011-02-09 22:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2011-02-09 22:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.ti.gatech.edu\/basole\/seminar\/sportsanalytics\/","title":"CS\/ISyE 4801: Sports Analytics"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ti.gatech.edu\/","title":"Tennenbaum Institute Web site"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.sportsanalyticsinstitute.com\/","title":"The Sports Analytics Institute"}],"groups":[{"id":"1182","name":"General"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"426","name":"isye"},{"id":"167437","name":"sports analytics"},{"id":"1727","name":"tennenbaum institute"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:rahul.basole@ti.gatech.edu\u0022\u003ERahul Basole\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe Tennenbaum Institute\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:stasko@cc.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EJohn Stasko\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ESchool of Interactive Computing\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
