Thank you, Bill James, for sharing your insight and expertise with our community!
We just wrapped up an incredible time at the 2025 March Forum hosted by the Credit Research Foundation. From insightful discussions to networking with industry leaders, this event had it all. A huge thanks to everyone who attended Bill James' session, "A Fresh Perspective on Data for Credit Risk Management." He shared key insights on managing big data, leveraging internal and external data, and making sense of it all to drive smarter credit decisions. The conversations around AI in credit decisioning, high-risk account mitigation, and modernization made this forum one to remember. If we didn’t get a chance to connect, let’s keep the conversation going—drop us a message! #CreditRisk #BusinessInsights #CRFForum2025
