Sabermetrics for business? Investing?
I have been a big fan of Sabermetrics for the past few years after reading moneyball. Taking traditional stats turning them upside down and looking for new more useful stats in the game of baseball…that’s my rough explanation of what Sabermetrics is.
I just picked up the Football Prospectus 2007, which does the same thing for football by taking a totally new approach to the stats that really matter in the game of football. I haven’t even opened it up yet, but I can’t wait to see what they have in there about the Seahawks.
Thinking, doesn’t there have to be a way to look at business acquisitions? Investing? Hires? Something big in the business world that has always been viewed a traditional way… I bet if some people take the time to look at things from a different angle, within the next 5 years there will be a totally new system being adapted on how to do some of these key processes.
Any ideas which vertical will be the first to determine a new way of thinking? My guess…VC.
