The document discusses best practices for promoting a data-centric culture from the bottom-up in organizations. It finds that to complement top-down leadership, employees at all levels should use data to set goals and track performance, receive training in data analysis, share data and compete with peers, and experiment with data to innovate. Fostering these bottom-up behaviors is necessary to fully transform a company into one that is truly data-driven.

Everyone acknowledges the global business environment is dynamically changing with the adoption of digital technologies, globalization of the marketplace, and changes in the global workforce (75% of the workforce will be Millennials by 2025). As organizations respond to rapid-fire changes in the global digital business environment, they are forced to restructure to compete and survive, facing the challenges of digital transformation.
But are executives prepared to manage their organizations and seize the opportunities?

Driving A Data-Centric Culture: The Leadership ChallengePlatfora
Embracing data as a corporate asset—and a source of competitive advantage—is not just a “good idea” that companies should consider. Such adoption will help determine the winners and losers across multiple markets and industries in the future.
In the last couple of years, corporate focus has shifted: first, from investing in the right technology and tools; then to acquiring the right talent and skills; and now to building the right organizational culture that can realize the business value of powerful big-data analytic tools.
Most organizations today are still focused on putting in place the right technology and talent, but others have evolved further and are working toward fostering a data-centric corporate culture.

Views From The C-Suite: Who's Big on Big DataPlatfora
he way that big data pervades most organizations today creates a dynamic environment for C-level executives to explore how it can and should be used strategically to add business value.
While each C-level executive views big data through a unique lens, a strong consensus exists among them about the need for effective big data analytics across their organizations.
This Economist Intelligence Unit report shows that senior executives are optimistic about both the capabilities of big data and the impacts such data can have on their businesses.

Gain a Holistic View of your Customer's JourneyPlatfora
Today, companies are capturing information about customers at every touchpoint, but the reality is that most companies are working with siloed marketing data because they’re using disparate tools to track online, offline, web, social, mobile, and advertising data.
In this presentation, Rod Fontecilla, VP of Application Modernization at Unisys, explains how his team uses Platfora to analyze, interact and understand data to drive customer success at Unisys.
Rod will highlight three specific Unisys use cases of Platfora, one of which involved a timely text survey sentiment analysis that produced insights enabling a course correction in favor of improved customer satisfaction.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
