	“The biggest challenges between predictive modeling staff and end users are around the development and implementation of predictive model. Major ones include: (a) Capturing comprehensive business requirements as well as underlying subject matter expertise; (b) Availability of data with minimal data preparation efforts; (c) Expectation management ; (d) Embedding predictive model in the workflow/operation while avoiding temptation not to use the output of predictive model -- change management; (e) Engagement and buy-in; (f) Supporting monitoring of predictive model performance for continuous improvement.” - Soyal Momin, MBA, Center of Excellence for Data and Analytics, Presbyterian Health Services
