The document discusses implementing an agile approach to developing predictive models at Allstate Insurance. It outlines how agile allows for more incremental and iterative development, with the ability to test and improve models more quickly. An agile process was adopted with sprints, backlogs, and daily standup meetings. This resulted in 38 predictive models being developed over 12 research and development sprints within 10 months, with only 3 model failures, allowing for faster delivery of business value.

Common Data Driven Mistakes with HAVI's Sr. Director of Advanced AnalyticsPromotable
You've received your data, found important insights for your business and are ready to present the information to your leadership. Could you be making a costly mistake?
In this talk, we discuss the importance of exploratory data analysis, what questions to ask from your data to make sure that the results are accurate, and the importance of applying business domain knowledge to your findings so you don't identify insights that could be both incorrect and very costly.
Takeaways:
What are the right questions to ask?
Common mistakes that lead to inaccurate results.
What to watch out for (correlation vs. causality, spurious results, and more)
Your Instructor: Jeanette Shutay is Senior Director of Advanced Analytics where she leads the Center of Excellence at HAVI, which is a leading organization whose services provide insights and solutions for the world’s largest foodservice brands.

Rethinking an organization in an Agile manner is a challenge that affects every organizational aspects and is surrounded by risks that must be appropriately managed.
Beyond the used methodologies and frameworks, the goal is always to develop a mindset that allows the organization to " stand on their own feet" and embrace antifragility.
In this talk we will describe a concrete transformation experience in a company working on the medical sector, with the operational office in Italy, and how it has been completely revolutionized. We will talk about successful changes and the less fortunate experiments, how the company developed its Way of Working (WoW) in agile manner, even going so far as to reorganize of the internal physical spaces. We will also take a look at how the aspects of the Program were developed: from the Portfolio to the Risk Management System, up to the revision of the Quality procedures.

Creating a machine learning model is not an easy task.
Creating a useful machine learning model that gets into production and generates actual business value - is an even harder one.
There are many ways for an ML project or product to fail even when the data is there and the model technically performs well. From the wrong problem statement to lack of trust from stakeholders, in this talk I will discuss what issues to look out for, and how to avoid them.
How to Build an AI/ML Product and Sell it by SalesChoice CPOProduct School
Main takeaways:
- How to identify the use cases to build an AI/ML product?
- What are the challenges that you would face and how to over come them?
- How to establish stake holder buy-in and design the go-to market strategy?
Six Sigma (Quality Management System)
Six Sigma seeks to improve the quality of process outputs by identifying and removing the causes of defects.
Six sigma process is one in which 99.9999966% of the products manufactured are statistically expected to be free of defects.
Six sigma is a very clever way of branding and packaging many aspects of TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT.
Established businesses often have trouble running fast on new innovation initiatives. How can they overcome the innovator's dilemma? This talk looks at how intrapreneurs working on cutting edge programs might anticipate and overcome challenges to bring their idea, with all its risks and unknowns, to fruition in an organization that is optimized for operational excellence on existing programs.
Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.
As Europe's leading economic powerhouse and the fourth-largest hashtag#economy globally, Germany stands at the forefront of innovation and industrial might. Renowned for its precision engineering and high-tech sectors, Germany's economic structure is heavily supported by a robust service industry, accounting for approximately 68% of its GDP. This economic clout and strategic geopolitical stance position Germany as a focal point in the global cyber threat landscape.
In the face of escalating global tensions, particularly those emanating from geopolitical disputes with nations like hashtag#Russia and hashtag#China, hashtag#Germany has witnessed a significant uptick in targeted cyber operations. Our analysis indicates a marked increase in hashtag#cyberattack sophistication aimed at critical infrastructure and key industrial sectors. These attacks range from ransomware campaigns to hashtag#AdvancedPersistentThreats (hashtag#APTs), threatening national security and business integrity.
🔑 Key findings include:
🔍 Increased frequency and complexity of cyber threats.
🔍 Escalation of state-sponsored and criminally motivated cyber operations.
🔍 Active dark web exchanges of malicious tools and tactics.
Our comprehensive report delves into these challenges, using a blend of open-source and proprietary data collection techniques. By monitoring activity on critical networks and analyzing attack patterns, our team provides a detailed overview of the threats facing German entities.
This report aims to equip stakeholders across public and private sectors with the knowledge to enhance their defensive strategies, reduce exposure to cyber risks, and reinforce Germany's resilience against cyber threats.
