The Analytics COE positioning your business analytics program for successKiran Garimella
You should consider the following three aspects of your Business Analytics Program:
* The Business (not just data science, big data, and technology)
* Analytics as the DNA of the company (and not just a competency of an elite few)
* A Programmatic approach that sustainable for the life of the company (and not just a one-time project or initiative)
What role do classical statistics, Bayesian statistics, judgment under uncertainty, heuristics, biases, categorical data analysis, etc., play in such a program?
A COE (Center of Excellence) framework seeks to address these aspects and ensure the company can progress on all fronts.

NEED FOR CHANGE: Data is changing the world. We all know that. The real challenge will be to keep up with those changes by hiring the right team to help you take on the data that is already in your organization.
STAFF FOR SUCCES: Make sure you have an executive sponsor that has a vision for how the organization can become data-driven; hire experienced team members to lead the data engineering, and architecture teams; and adopt agile methodologies to allow for quick experimentation and quick failures.
SKILL UP: In a recent survey focused on Spark, over 60 percent indicated that the skills/training gap was their biggest organizational challenges with Spark, but 65% of respondents indicated that they either did not know or had no future plans for training.

The Analytics CoE: Positioning your Business Analytics Program for SuccessCartegraph
This Loras College Business Analytics Symposium breakout session presentation by Kiran Garimella, Ph.D., president and founder of XBITALIGN, explored the analytics center of excellence (CoE).
A business analytics program is more than the application of data science and Big Data technology to data. Success should be measured not only by the valuable insights the program delivers, but also by how well it is sustained and how much the ‘analytics mindset’ becomes part of the company’s DNA. The journey is not only from data to information, but also from information to knowledge, and from knowledge to intelligence. The foundation for making this happen is a well-structured Analytics Center of Excellence (CoE).

A successful cloud-transformation journey incorporates three pillars: people, process, and technology. Far too often, organisations focus on process improvements and technology implementation, but ignore the human aspect. Many leaders acknowledge that the first two are easy to modify, while influencing culture is more difficult. This session covers best-practice methods meant to empower customers to address this challenge. Learn about roles and responsibilities germane to the transition and post-cloud adoption phase. Assess your organisation’s gaps among the requisite skills and competencies, build effective training models, and shape an effective DevOps culture.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

11. What is Cloud Computing?
Common Misconceptions
• Cloud computing is an actual cloud or has
something to do with the weather
• Bad weather interferes with the way the cloud
operates
• Over half the American population believes
they have never used the cloud

12. What is Cloud Computing?
Definition of “The Cloud”
Offsite hardware and software that can be used as
a service over a network.
Different services include:
• Platform as a service (PaaS)
• Software as a service (SaaS)
• Storage as a service (Staas)
• Security as a service (SECaaS)
• Data as a service (Daas)
• Business process as a service (BPaaS)
• Test environment as a service (TEaaS)
• Desktop as a service (DaaS)
• API as a service (APIaas)
PwC
13. What is Cloud Computing?
PwC
What does it mean for today’s businesses?
• A user of IT can now procure an IT capability as a web service
• The IT service can reside off premise, hosted by a third-party provider
• This service is elastic – can be dynamically scaled up/down, turned on/off
• Service is shared with other users, providing efficiency for provider
• Ultimately, the architecture, the delivery, and the consumption have all
changed from the traditional model
• And payment for usage moves to subscription or on-demand

17. Implementing the Cloud
Important considerations
for a successful Cloud
Implementation
Taking full advantage of the cloud
will require a purposeful transition,
as impact will reach across the
organization. To prepare, here are
some of the steps the
C-Suite should think about.
PwC
18. Implementing the Cloud
1) Strategy
• Define the processes, action-items, milestones, and deliverables
• Begin with the business imperatives and identify technical
components of the cloud that are already in place
IST Stakeholders
• Primary: ISDEV, ISINT, ISPP,
Intelligence Analysis/Modeling,
Information and Cyber Security, Social
Factors and Risk
• Secondary: N/A
PwC
19. Implementing the Cloud
2) People
• Cloud computing will encourage organizations adopt a service focus
rather than a functional focus
• It is necessary to realign resources in operations to support business
growth needs
• Anticipate a reassessment of talent needs
IST Stakeholders
• Primary: ISINT, ISPP, Information and
Cyber Security, Social Factors and Risk
• Secondary: ISDEV, Intelligence
Analysis/Modeling
PwC
20. Implementing the Cloud
3) Processes
• Anticipate change across the organization
• R&D will need to realign more tightly with IT as project planning
and deployments are able to accelerate
• In Finance, anticipate impacts on profitability, budgeting, and
depreciation when the organization shifts from product purchases to
service delivery of IT
IST Stakeholders
• Primary: ISDEV, ISINT, Information
and Cyber Security, Social Factors and
Risk
• Secondary: ISPP, Intelligence
Analysis/Modeling
PwC
21. Implementing the Cloud
4) Technology
• Businesses need to address IT concerns such as: Data security, Certification
and third-party audits; Availability, reliability, and resilience; Backup and
Recovery; Decommissioning
• Other considerations: Contractual agreements between users and
providers; Service level and performance requirements; Compliance
requirements
IST Stakeholders
• Primary: ISDEV, ISINT, ISPP,
Information and Cyber Security, Social
Factors and Risk, Intelligence
Analysis/Modeling
• Secondary: N/A
PwC
22. Implementing the Cloud
5) Structure
• Thoughtful consideration of the organizational impact will smooth
the transition
• As an example, consider the following: What is the impact of rapid
and inexpensive deployment of technology on product
development?
