Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, investors and corporate decision-makers are suddenly finding themselves needing to reach decisions with partial information. There is a need for timely, forward-looking information that may fill the gap left by the absence of familiar tools, such as company guidance and financial reports. During this webinar, we will discuss how alternative data may help you navigate through today’s uncertain environment to be best prepared for life after COVID-19. Additionally the webinar will include:
An introduction to the four tiers of data hierarchy, 1) Movement/Logistics, 2) Early Indicators, 3) Core Data and 4) Sentiment, and how each can inform your decision making in a beneficial way.
Discussion on how combining the four tiers of data, in conjunction with applying your own insights, expertise and tools, you can uncover additional insights and take more reasoned action.
A panel Q&A with thought leaders from Panjiva Supply Chain Intelligence, AirSage Foot Traffic Data and Weather Source Weather Data on trends they’re uncovering that may help with your decision-making.
