Center for Analytics and Business Insight


Driving the future of data-driven, values-based decision-making.

The Center for Analytics and Business Insights (CABI) is Washington University’s hub for research, innovation and applied knowledge in the burgeoning field of advanced analytics.

Serving as a conduit between business, academia and the broader community, CABI strives to help leaders better leverage analytics and technology to make a positive and principled difference in organizations, communities and society at large.
