The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between Big Data Management and Employee Resilience of Deposit Money Banks in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. Primary data was generated through self administered questionnaire. This study was conducted in 17 Deposit Money Banks in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. The study used descriptive technique through the adoption of cross sectional research survey design. A total population of one hundred and two 102 managerial staff of the target banks was studied. A census sampling was adopted since the population was small. The reliability of the instrument was achieved by the use of the Cronbach Alpha coefficient with all the items scoring above 0.70. The hypotheses were tested using the Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 23.0. The results of analysed data showed the dimensions of big data management data volume and data variety significantly correlated positively with the measures of employee resilience adaptive capacity and situational awareness. The study concludes that big data management significantly predicted employee resilience in Deposit Money Banks in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. Therefore, the study recommends that the dimensions treated in this study be adopted by management of banks as 21st century organization is gradually shifting interest from customers’ centric to data centric.

Abstract: The proper role of technology to improve human experience has been discussed by visionaries and scientists from the early days of computing and electronic communication. Technology now plays an increasingly important role in facilitating and improving personal and social activities and engagements, decision making, interaction with physical and social worlds, generating insights, and just about anything that an intelligent human seeks to do. I have used the term Computing for Human Experience (CHE) [1] to capture this essential role of technology in a human centric vision. CHE emphasizes the unobtrusive, supportive and assistive role of technology in improving human experience, so that technology “takes into account the human world and allows computers themselves to disappear in the background” (Mark Weiser [2]).
In this talk, I will portray physical-cyber-social (PCS) computing that takes ideas from, and goes significantly beyond, the current progress in cyber-physical systems, socio-technical systems and cyber-social systems to support CHE [3]. I will exemplify future PCS application scenarios in healthcare and traffic management that are supported by (a) a deeper and richer semantic interdependence and interplay between sensors and devices at physical layers, (b) rich technology mediated social interactions, and (c) the gathering and application of collective intelligence characterized by massive and contextually relevant background knowledge and advanced reasoning in order to bridge machine and human perceptions. I will share an example of PCS computing using semantic perception [4], which converts low-level, heterogeneous, multimodal and contextually relevant data into high-level abstractions that can provide insights and assist humans in making complex decisions. The key proposition is to explain that PCS computing will need to move away from traditional data processing to multi-tier computation along data-information-knowledge-wisdom dimension that supports reasoning to convert data into abstractions that humans are adept at using.

7 Reasons why Companies & Government should invest in Digital TransformationIsmail Sayeed
Early adoption of digital solutions to provide services, whether health related or not, allows organisations to be ready for future user demands. The large pool of data on patterns of service/product consumption, feedback and possible future behaviour (extracted from data analytics) can guide strategic decisions on what to invest in and for whom.
Digital healthcare innovation was needed decades ago, with or without a global health emergency. Other industries with complex systems have rapidly adopted digital transformation; such as logistics networks, taxation, commerce and others
- except healthcare.
A company that is already accustomed to some form of digital-based communication and operations (as much as possible) are the ones most able to survive and thrive in these circumstances.
A government body that can still function and serve remotely and digitally is the most ideal form of democracy. An organisation with remote workers, paperless reporting, established telecommunications through all chains of command are really agile in its truest form.
I had predicted 2 years ago that digital healthcare solutions would be the dominant narrative for the emerging middle class of many developing countries in Asia.
it is time for the global industry to transform itself to the new reality.
Now.
Transforming Big Data into Smart Data for Smart Energy: Deriving Value via ha...Amit Sheth
Keynote at the Workshop on Building Research Collaboration: Electricity Systems. Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN. Aug 28-29, 2013.
Abstract:
Big Data has captured much interest in research and industry, with anticipation of better decisions, efficient organizations, and many new jobs. Much of the emphasis is on technology that handles volume, including storage and computational techniques to support analysis (Hadoop, NoSQL, MapReduce, etc), and the challenges of the four Vs of Big Data: Volume, Variety, Velocity, and Veracity. However, the most important feature of data, the raison d'etre, is neither volume, variety, velocity, nor veracity -- but value. In this talk, I will emphasize the significance of Smart Data, and discuss how it is can be realized by extracting value from Big Data. Accomplishing this task requires organized ways to harness and overcome the original four V-challenges; and while the technologies currently touted may provide some necessary infrastructure-- they are far from sufficient. In particular, we will need to utilize metadata, employ semantics and intelligent processing, and leverage some of the extensive work that predates Big Data.
For achieving energy sustainability, Smart Grids are known to transform the way we generate, distribute, and consume power. Unprecedented amount of data is being collected from smart meters, smart devices, and sensors all throughout the power grid. I will discuss the central question of deriving Value from the entire smart grid data deluge by discussing novel algorithms and techniques such as Semantic Perception for dealing with Velocity, use of ontologies and vocabularies for dealing with Variety, and Continuous Semantics for dealing with Velocity. I will discuss scenarios that exemplify the process of deriving Value from Big Data in the context of Smart Grid.

Trends and approaches in medical education in the digital age Natalie Lafferty
The use of technology has become ubiquitous in medical education. Educational technologies have increased access to learning resources but there are also challenges and personal development needs for both staff and students to be considered. This presentation that I gave to the Galway Area Medical Education group at Galway Medical School on 7 March 2013 considers some of the emerging trends in using technology in medical education and approaches to their implementation with examples from across the continuum of medical education.
Johannes Bauer, Director of the Quello Center at Michigan State University, covers various aspects of the digital economy including opportunities and challenges, technological and economic drivers, value creation in the digital economy, harnessing benefits and minimizing risks, and measuring the digital economy.
In this presentation, I tried to succinctly discuss the future technology trends and explain how they can impact the healthcare industry. Also Business Transformation, as a key to tackle, has been discussed.
The Grand Challenge Project is currently underway as a collaboration between the RCA School of Design and CERN.
The Grand Challenge is a unique project that involves all 1st-year School of Design Students from the Fashion, Textiles, IDE, GID, Service Design, Product Design and Intelligent Mobility Programmes; about 380 students, the biggest students cohort ever involved in an RCA project.
Running for 8 weeks in partnership with scientists from CERN, the project is exploring four key themes (Health and Wellbeing, Digital Disruption, Energy, Infrastructure and the Environment; Social and Economic Disparity).
This is a talk being given at the start of the second week of the project to share some of the key insights from 2018 Future Agenda projects that will help to provoke debate and innovation across the four themes.
Current Disruptions in Media: Earthquakes or New Openings? Stanford as CatalystMartha Russell
Across the globe, new word-of-mouth messaging methods are emerging. Many of these involve new technologies. The strategic use of media has become a game changer for both local and global businesses. Traditional media platforms are outpaced by the speed of flash movements as they unfold. Technical discoveries outpace the scientific journals available to announce them. Journalists, entertainers, academics, scientists, and citizens are experimenting with new tools and platforms for content creation, consumption and curation.
When the news about Tahir Square, or Occupy Wall Street or, more recently the Brazilian protests, hit the headlines of newspapers and magazines, they were already outdated. Documentaries were equally incapable of tracking and fully describing these movements. Traditional narratives – and the technologies used to tell them - fall short of accurately portraying the ideas and behaviors that are emerging through new modes of communication. Information travels so fast, that news is no longer "new". Ubiquitous media disintermediates traditional business ecosystems. And every company must take on roles of a media company.
The world of digital content is experiencing an explosion of innovation in both creation and consumption of media. It may well have been consumer applications that ignited the transformation, but business, enterprise and government interests have joined the party. Across the entire innovation ecosystem of media, new technologies and new uses of it by people are creating a sea change in the way people participate and in the responses they expect, Streaming coverage, both amateur and professional – both business and community, is powered by cutting edge technology in combinations of smartphones, 4G, drone cameras and, even, Google Glass can report on events and movements, products and services. The new role of the Chief Digital Officer has emerged in many organizations - to help management bridge the changing roles usually played by Chief Information Officers, Chief Marketing Officers, and Chief Technology Officers.
Labs affiliated with mediaX at Stanford University study how people and information technology interact. We invite discovery collaborations on the future of content for business, education, and entertainment.
The Next Normal Digital Transformation In A Post-pandemic FutureSeta Wicaksana
Technology offers businesses across industries incredible potential to engage with people around the world at a moment’s notice. Prior to the pandemic, many organizations were just beginning to see the potential that many of these capabilities offered their businesses. However, when in-person meetings and work were limited in response to Covid-19, they quickly realized just how powerful technology can be. The pandemic helped to accelerate digital transformation and created a landscape that will continue to encourage innovation and technological adoption moving forward. As businesses begin to better understand the capabilities of these types of modern technology, they will also begin to understand the opportunities that lie before them, even after the pandemic is over.
Digital transformation is more necessary during this crisis, not less. But that doesn’t mean it will look the same as it did before the pandemic. Resources—both in terms of talent and money—will likely be constrained. Digital initiatives may need to be reprioritized based on relevance in the current environment. New problems and opportunities may come to light with greater urgency. For some businesses, the forces of disruption may be so great that the long-term strategic vision will need to be overhauled. And any digital transformation roadmap that does not deliver value at every increment will need to be reimagined. The key is continuing to experiment and innovate with digital solutions front and center. With the right approach, businesses can come out of the fray stronger, more agile, and more customer-centric than before. Foremost, digitisation is accelerating. To lead in the post-COVID-19 world.
There will be no “return to normal”. The coronavirus is permanently reshaping the way we live and work. Some of the behaviors developed in crisis—including wide-scale digital adoption—will outlast the pandemic, well after restrictions on activity are lifted. To stay competitive, organizations must respond to these behavioral changes and meet emerging customer demands. Savvy organizations will focus now on leveraging advanced analytics to extract insights from their customer data and continue internal and external data integration efforts to develop a more holistic view. Detecting those signals of change early will be crucial to optimizing the customer experience and redefining customer value propositions in line with evolving preferences and needs.
It has been said that Mobiles +Cloud + Social + Big Data = Better Run The World. IBM has invested over $20 billion since 2005 to grow its analytics business, many companies will invest more than $120 billion by 2015 on analytics, hardware, software and services critical in almost every industry like ; Healthcare, media, sports, finance, government, etc.
It has been estimated that there is a shortage of 140,000 – 190,000 people with deep analytical skills to fill the demand of jobs in the U.S. by 2018.
Decoding the human genome originally took 10 years to process; now it can be achieved in one week with the power of Analytic and BI (Business Intelligence). This lecture’s Key Messages is that Analytics provide a competitive edge to individuals , companies and institutions and that Analytics and BI are often critical to the success of any organization.
Methodology used is to teach analytic techniques through real world examples and real data with this goal to convince audience of the Analytics Edge and power of BI, and inspire them to use analytics and BI in their career and their life.

Big data in the real world opportunities and challenges facing healthcare -...Leo Barella
The Healthcare system will be target of major disruption more than any other industry in the next 10 years.
The Digital economics and increasing demand by consumers for more real time information in order to make better decisions on who they want to "hire" to perform services for them or in their behalf will be the driver of this disruption. Analytics, Big Data and Machine Learning will lay the foundation for the next generation of healthcare yet there are still many challenges to truly revolutionize the healthcare system end to end (Providers, Pharma, Payers)

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. Growing with the flows
• Economic value is moving from “stock
flows” to “knowledge flows.”
• Return on Assets for US firms declined
by 75% since 1965.
• US “competitive” intensity has more than
doubled in the past 40 years.
• Exponential price/performance gains in
computing, storage, and bandwidth drives
constant replacement of infrastructure.
• The ‘topple rate’ –the rate at which
sector leaders are replaced by
newcomers-- has more than doubled.
According to The Deloitte Center for
the Edge, this is evidence of a “deep
change occurring in today’s epochal
‘Big Shift,’” –a fundamental alteration
of the business landscape on a global
scale, “catalyzed by the emergence and
spread of digital technology.”
Success for business and professionals
will belong to those who build
relationships to create value, people
who can bridge technologies, cultures,
and policy differences to collaborate
and find solutions.

10. Prying value from process, the Health Information
Technology (HIT) case
• The HIT components of the stimulus package, collectively labeled HITECH in the
law, contained $19 billion for health information technology and health
information exchange
• The legislation contains $2 billion in grants to create a national system of
computerized health records and $17 billion in higher Medicare and Medicaid
reimbursements for physicians and hospitals to adopt the technology
• Starting in 2011, physicians would get bonuses between $44,000 and $64,000, and
up to several million dollars per hospital, if they show they have computerized
their medical record systems
• In 2015, any hospital participating in Medicare that does not meet the electronic
records use standard will be penalized a percent of their reimbursements through
the federal programs, with similar penalties being phased in for physicians

12. • Healthcare has a virtual monopoly on the informatics franchise though nearly every field
from marketing to public policy has an equally urgent need for practitioners trained in
informatics.
• The informatics specialist has developed technical, numerate and analytical skills and
the ability to think creatively, logically, and quantitatively,
• Knowledge of software design, distributed systems, multimedia systems, networks
and the internet – and of technical and social challenges that they pose
• Developed abilities in testing, documentation and evaluation of systems and the
ability to recognize the capabilities, limitations and risks of computer-based solutions
• Experience examining the design of intelligent computer systems and an
understanding of intelligence in both machines and humans (Description by the
University of Sussex).

“Informatics is the study of information, its structure, its communication, and its use. As society
becomes increasingly information intensive, the needs to understand, create, and apply new methods
for modeling, managing, and acquiring information has never been greater…”

16. Analytics has become the most potent
source of decision intervention
Much of the shift in the
pace and location of
decision making is due to
the enormous quantity of
evidence being left behind
every human action.
Analytics today, is already
contributing more to
organizational decision
making than the “decision”
culture or leadership.

• An iPad is not a large iPod, any
more then it’s an ‘electronic
textbook.’
• “location” information can tell
you what your block looked like
in 1868. New content models.
• With all your computing power
in ‘the cloud’ your “device” can
be implanted under your skin.
•‘Thin clients’ will be designed to
for specific purposes.
• Sensors will compute your
options before you know your
intent.
• How much is it worth to know
what you need to know now?
18. Innovative proposals for learning, can embrace today’s challenges and
position SCPS among new and existing audiences
• Retrain laid-off workers for
roles in areas with current
career opportunities
• Prepare graduates for positions
in emerging fields such as
renewable/“green” energy and
health information
• Acknowledge social trends that
may alter/expand the SCPS
audience today
• Engage prospects, current
students, and alumni via social
networking

• The price/performance capability of computing, storage, and bandwidth has
contributed to an adoption rate that is two to five times faster than previous
infrastructure turnovers.
Even if everything else around us changes, we have to remain true to our core value: the needs of New York’s learners needs come first.
Unemployment rates hit just about every sector of the economy in 2009. As expected, people with less than a high school diploma were the hardest hit –rising to 15.6 percent unemployment by February 2010. (Chart only shows Oct ’08 to Nov. 09.) HS grad showed the sharpest increase in unemployment rates, though those with some college faired a little better, and those with a bachelor’s degree or higher saw and increase in unemployment rate from about 3% to about 4.5%, about a 1 percent jump, compared to a nearly 5% increase for those with less than a HS diploma. A good many employment experts are saying that this “volatility” is likely to persist through 2015, and possibly longer. It maybe the ‘new normal’
We are used to citing higher unemployment rates for people with low levels of educational attainment, but what is new year is the rapid swings across all levels. What is happening?
Employment in some skill areas will grow, even as the overall size of the workforce in that economic sector declines. But even where there is growth there will be changes in roles people play. Increasingly, the “specialists” will be expected to understand more about the the dynamics of the business. They will be expected to be conversant in the culture and the conditions common to their industry. The will be expected to be able to collaborate with people from other specializations, to collaborate, and solve problems. Silos will break down, not because management sees the wisdom of breaking down the silos, but because the borders between various functions will dissolve, sharing the same language, the same technology, and the dynamic factors.
Even health care, a field that every employment expert says will grow will not necessarily grow in the way we expect.
If we don’t have all the resources we need, where else can we get them?
As this new business model takes hold, National Electronic Health Records initiative includes incentive payments to hospitals and physicians who computerize medical records –and provides new opportunities for CPE units for training. These include
(click) Hospitals, who receive up to $2M to install HIT systems,
And Physicians offices who receive up to $70,000 to install HIT
(click) Both of these employer types, along with Community Health Agencies and health Care providers require new types of skills to support specialized Health IT environments, as well as training for support staff in its use in records management
(click) In addition, IT and software providers will be required to provide support including security, networking, and technical support.
With many CPE units building IT programs as well as healthcare programs, certificates and programs in health informatics may be in even greater demand as doctors and hospitals begin to implement national electronic health records.
Sometimes, important knowledge can be held captive in a sector silo. The ‘profession’ of informatics is largely unfamiliar here in the United States outside its native silo in healthcare. Still the basic skills are in demand in virtually even business and professional practice.
While there is concern over getting people into “character animation,” data animation is key to extracting its meaning and value.
Whether we talk about “teaching,” “learning,” or “doing” brain surgery, we all altering every dimension of the problem and its solution. That why when people talk about “flows” the talk in terms of “impact flows.”
Analytics plays a crucial role in improving every process and procedure. Still we have come up with the management and practice procedures the permit the data to flow across the boundaries of multiple practices and policies in order to realize its potential value.
For now, you may need to think about how to be a part of your student’s mobile existence. Mobile phones can be used to “record” field work; collect information for use in class, and so on. Why assume that the best place to communicate is in the classroom? Bring experiences from outside the classroom, inside to share, discuss. Develop teams that can use their mobile and computer infrastructure collaborate. So called, “thin clients” are becoming “application specific”, like a mobile app lets you “hear” a foreign language in your native tongue, or a phone camera that can identify the “artwork” you are looking at in a museum. If the learner is going to spend a substantial portion of his or her time interacting with a mobile environment, make it a part of the learning experience.
Back in the 60s, where I come from, we used to say it was about ‘relevancy.’ Today, its all about how this will make a difference in my life. The fact is, things are changing so rapidly and so profoundly, that we don’t expect our instructor to “tell me what it means.” We expect them to help us figure out how to solve the problem. One key way to connect is to let your learner “take” your knowledge into his/her reality –whether it’s on the job, or in the neighborhood. You the technology to break out of the classroom.
Perhaps the most important thing about ‘new media’ is how it is making “face-to-face” contact exciting and novel again. (embed Valencia Market and NYU videos).
Now, think about your parent’s routines and your children’s routines. In a recent survey of Internet users, when given a choice of devices to use, boomers (45+) overwhelmingly chose PCs (51 over 21 percent) while Gen Y (18 – 24 years of age) chose mobile phones (47 over 38 percent).
This is as true of businesses as it is of educational institutions. Organizations are inherently “conservative” and “risk averse.” Unlike the consumer who can decide for his- or herself, organizations contain the accumulated angst, fears, and self-interests of the people that animate them. The authority to “decide” on behalf of the organization is concentrated in a handful of individuals. What looks essential to the organization, looks risky to the individual and vice versa.
Most of the innovations Deloitte looked at occurred in less time than it takes to complete high school, or college, or obtain an advanced degree. If the value of innovation is to be reaped only after a credential has been earned, then spending for an employee’s “additional degree” would be a poor investment. If, on the other hand, P&CE were perceived as producing value by engaging employees in knowledge flows they might otherwise not have access to, the benefit to the employer would be concurrent with the expense. This is simply a matter of program design.
