Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A Visit With Tim Berry
Q: What led to the formation of Blend360?
Tim and Patrick Hennessy sought to build a broader analytics-enabled company beyond marketing, ultimately forming Blend360 after deciding to apply analytics across multiple domains and acquiring complementary organizations.
A Visit With Tim Berry
Q: How did Tim's early experiences shape his view of analytics in business?
Tim explains that early work at AT&T and later roles showed him how data could drive concrete business decisions, not just theoretical insight, which set the tone for his career in applied analytics.
Response-Adaptive Randomization in Clinical Trials
Q: So explain to Tammy what response adaptive randomization is.
RAR is a framework where interim analyses adjust allocation probabilities to favor arms performing better, with the aim of treating participants more effectively while still collecting information to compare against a control. The method is nuanced, varies by setting (multi-arm vs two-arm), and requires careful design, regulation-aware modeling, and extensive simulation.
The SNAP Trial with Professors Tong and Davis
Q: What are the three backbone domains and how do they differ by silo?
The backbone domain asks which primary antibiotic to use for each silo (MSSA, MRSA, or PSSA), with MSSA and PSSA comparing penicillins or cephalosporins to flucloxacillin or cephazolin, and MRSA typically comparing vancomycin-based regimens to alternatives.
The SNAP Trial with Professors Tong and Davis
Q: What was the genesis of the SNAP Trial?
It grew from observing a high burden of MRSA bloodstream infections in Darwin and prior MRSA work, combining this clinical need with adaptive platform concepts to address multiple questions simultaneously across silos.
