Description
Discussion of various business topics from bringing Operations Reserarch applications to life. From finding the right use cases, over convincing people to invest in the technology to implementation.
Short Summary
We discuss many topics that arise when one wants to bring proof-of-concept type OR software to real-world implementations. First we need educate other people on what the technology can do and how it is different from others (like Machine Learning). We need to show the benefits and convince stakeholders. We need to overcome certain objections people have against optimization software and need to build trust in the technology. After they building of the software, we need also maintain the solution.
When & Why?
After you have experience with basic modelling techniques and did a first kind of example project, it is time to understand what the challenges are when implementing the software in practice. You can read this to expand your knowledge beyond the mathematical formulations.
How to?
Start with the topics that are most closely related to status of the porject you are facing. Let's say you don't work on an OR project yet, but want to approach your boss with a specific idea in mind. Then start for example with the Pitching OR applications.
