What is Analytics?

Analytics is the process of developing actionable insights through problem definition, application of statistical models or operations research techniques and analysis against existing and/or simulated future data.

What do we do?

HSR conducts in-depth analysis into key strategic areas to provide insights for management using operations research techniques (e.g. discrete event simulation and optimisation) and business analytic approaches. Our findings provide the basis for decision making in designing interventions to address areas of strategic and operational concern.
