Scaling up is hard and deadly if done wrong. A study by Startup Genome analyzed the results of 3,200 start-ups they found that of the majority of start-ups failed. That shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. What is more important is they found, 70% failed because of premature or faulty scaling.
A solution is “Nail it, then scale it” approach to growing your business. To make it easy to remember the approach we have boiled things down to a simple “ABCs” formula:
A = Ask for help
B = Build ideas together
C = Clarify
S = Build in Systems for growth

How the Analytics Translator can make your organisation more AI drivenSteven Nooijen
Today, about 80% of companies considers data as an essential part of their strategy. However, although most of these companies are taking models into production, they still have trouble turning their data and insights into valuable AI solutions. With businesses heavily invested in data and AI, what is it that actually makes the difference for being successful with AI?
In this talk, I will argue that the extent to which AI is embedded in the organisation is crucial to success. Furthermore, I will show why the Analytics Translator is the designated person to drive AI adoption by the business and what his or her tasks should look like. The insights shared come from our own experience as consultants as well as interviews with top Dutch enterprises about their AI maturity.
AI Maturity Levels and the Analytics TranslatorGoDataDriven
Buzzwords like Big Data, Cloud, and AI have been out there now for a couple of years. But today, businesses have a clear focus on the application of data use cases and the challenges around that such as metadata management, governance, security, and maintainability in general. Everybody seems to have some version of a data lake and wants to consolidate it into something (more) useful, or move from an on-premise version to the cloud. There is a general need to streamline current practices while also attempting to give multiple segments of users (data scientists, analysts, marketeers, business people, and HR) access in a way that is tailored to their needs and skills. In other words: businesses today are heavily invested in data and AI, but many have a hard time knowing how to mature it to the next level.
This is exactly where a "maturity model" comes into play. The goal of a maturity model is to help businesses in understanding their current and target competencies. This helps organisations in defining a roadmap for improving their competency. A maturity model is therefore one way of structuring progression, whether the company already embraces data science as a core competency, or, if it is just getting started.
In this presentation on maturity models, we answer the following questions:
1. What exactly is a maturity model and why would you need it? We address this by sharing GoDataDriven's maturity model and describing the different phases we have identified based on our experience in the field.
2. How can you use a maturity model to advance your organisation? Having a maturity model alone is not enough, in order for it to be valuable you need to act upon it. This paper provides concrete examples on how to do act based on practical stories and experiences from our clients and ourselves.

After Oracle acquired Endeca, we all had to figure out what to do next. This case study describes building a learning-driven strategy capability to guide an adventurous product development group focused on the new domains of big data analytics and machine intelligence. I’ll share the outcomes of our efforts to launch new products chartered directly around customer experience value; outline the methods, tools, and perspectives that powered product discovery and strategic planning; share a framework and patterns for identifying and understanding emerging domains; and review the application of this toolkit to new situations.
Are you getting the most out of your data?SAS Canada
Data is an organizations most valuable asset, but raw data by itself has little value. To drive data’s worth, it must be managed and processed to extract value and information that decision makers can leverage and turn into actionable insights. It is the ways in which a company choses to put that information to use that will determine the true value of its data.
Through business intelligence and business analytic tools, businesses are enabling themselves to make more strategic, accurate decisions, while optimizing business processes. Hear from Info-Tech Research Group and learn what you need to consider when choosing an analytics solution provider. The webinar will highlight Info-Tech Research Group’s recently published vendor landscape for selecting and implementing Business Intelligence and Business Analytics solutions. The report positions SAS as the only leader across all four categories of Enterprise BI, Mid-Market BI, Enterprise BA and Mid-Market BA.

HfS Webinar Slides: Digital Reinvention For the Cognitive EraHfS Research
Design Thinking and Intelligent Automation are critical building blocks of any organization's journey toward the As-a-Service Economy. Yet, only by changing the mindset and by understanding as well as articulating the goal of this journey, will organizations be able to reap the benefits.
Experts from HfS Research, Applied Materials, and IBM share their experiences and lessons they have learned.
Participants will hear about:
- How IBM has embedded design thinking into our client interactions, enabling both parties to better build out solutions to business problems
- How companies need to build a foundation that allows them to embrace a move to 'digital'
- How building this foundation set them on a 'path to cognitive.'
- How the intelligent automation continuum allows companies to chart a path from 'desktop macros' through to RPA, Automation and Cognitive
- How each company's data maturity will dictate where it steps onto the path and how their journey then progresses

Your company's identity (what you do) and implementation (how you do it) should be closely linked. Here are the precepts to keep in mind as you bring them together: Aim high. Build on your strengths.

Keep it simple, sometimes. Shape your value chain. And cultivate collective mastery. Do all those things, and your company will be on its way to effectively executing its strategy.

Jackson Hung - 轉換人生實踐者
活到現在,我們總在讀書,卻很少思考,更少為自己行動,因為代價太多。即使嘗試改變生活的一小塊,又難以理直氣壯面對眼光、及自我內心的懷疑。很幸運,15歲被丟到中美洲,再去美國念大學,又被騙回台灣工作。被逼得成長 。但探索人生的過程中,雖有勇氣數次轉換領域,從生化、專案、智財、金融交易、到程式。可是"Out of Comfortable"只是一個跨步,不是路程。最後,我創業了。希望能分享,這條不斷挑戰自我、有徬徨有懷疑的路怎麼走出來的!

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

accessories do they buy? How should that impact my
adjacencies?
• Customer Incentive Programs – What rate should I offer on a
CD to a new customer?
• Network Planning – Where should we build the next Holiday
Inn?

prospects of a company we may buy? How significant are the
competitive threats?
