There are many activities and methods addressing business (project and strategic) planning and execution, however the planning cycle still remains flawed and sub-optimal.
-46% of business failures stem from misguided strategies
-More than half of all business projects are still failing
- One third of firms fail to achieve expected results from annual strategic plans
Leading organisations are getting in front of the planning cycle to positively influence project delivery and positive business outcomes with modern approaches geared to rapidly changing and complex environments.
Many disciplines purport to be the silver bullet to deal with these issues. The reality is that most businesses are just too chaotic to handle overly robust and formal techniques – but still want to ensure the right strategies and outcomes are achieved - and by design - not chance.History may look back at the evolving discipline of modern Business Architecture as one of the keys. For that to come true though, Business Architecture, as any methodology and framework, needs to be applied in a pragmatic and lean manner to be an effective tool for today's businesses.
This presentation, given by EA's Chief Architect, looks at Business Architecture and its journey – and necessity – to support a more agile approach to enterprise design.
- Business Analysis, Business Architecture and Business
- Design and where they intersect;
- What is the value of each?
- Where does the problem lie?
- What is currently working and what is failing;
- Where can we position the discipline to be the most effective in the organization, and have the greatest amount of impact on the strategic outcomes?
- What are the first steps to escalate the visibility and mandate of the discipline?
- What training is available and where does it get me?
Enterprise Data Science at Scale Meetup - IBM and Hortonworks - Oct 2017 Hortonworks
View the recording of the meet up, including the live demos, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaJWB3K8lkg
Data science holds tremendous potential for organizations to uncover new insights and drivers of revenue and profitability. Big Data has brought the promise of doing data science at scale to enterprises, however this promise also comes with challenges for data scientists to continuously learn and collaborate. Data Scientists have many tools at their disposal such as notebooks like Juypter and Apache Zeppelin & IDEs such as RStudio with languages like R, Python, Scala and frameworks like Apache Spark. Given all the choices how do you best collaborate to build your model and then work through the development lifecycle to deploy it from test into production?
Why Data Science on Big Data?
In this meetup you will cover the attributes of a modern data science platform that empowers data scientists to build models using all the data in their data lake and foster continuous learning and collaboration. We will show a demo of Apache Zeppelin, Apache Spark, Apache Livy and Apache Hadoop with the focus on integration, security and model deployment and management.
Data Science at Scale DEMO
The demo will cover the Data Science life cycle: develop model in team environment, train the model with all the data on a Hadoop cluster, deploy model into production. The model will be a Spark ML model
Practical ML with Apache Spark
To deliver machine learning solutions data scientists not only need to fit models but also do familiar tasks data collection & wrangling, labelling, feature extraction and transformation, model tuning and evaluation, etc. Apache Spark provide provides a unified solution for all this under the same framework.
For example, one can use Spark SQL to generate training data from different sources and then pass it directly to MLlib for feature engineering and model tuning, instead of using Hive/Pig for the first half and then downloading the data to a single machine to train models in R. The latter is actually very common in practice but painful to maintain. Spark MLlib makes life easier for data scientists and machine learning engineers so that they can focus on building better ML models and applications.
We will discuss the underlying principles required to develop practical machine learning and data science pipelines and show some hands-on experience using Apache Spark to solve typical machine learning and data science problem. We will also have a short discussion about how Spark MLlib faces challenges from other machine learning libraries such as TensorFlow and XGBoost.
This powerpoint was the basis for presentations about utilizing social media within a franchise environment as presented at West Coast Franchise Expo and Franchise Expo South.

Rock stars, Ninjas, and Gurus—you support your best people, but are your best...Cathy Cecere
Managers intuitively believe that investing in people is a key way (perhaps the best way) to develop their organizational capabilities for the long term. But, how do we know that we are investing in the right people? Should we be investing in people at all, or could we instead derive more value from investing in particular roles within an organization that provide the unique fabric of differentiated value that defines a high performing organization?
This presentation begins by discussing the strategy mapping approach outlined by Kaplan and Norton [1]and focuses specifically on a customer-focused value delivered by a company as the core of its business model. Building from this we will discuss applying a portfolio approach to talent management [2]by categorizing the various roles in a company and scoring those roles on three categories: contribution to the customer-focused value chain, uniqueness to the organization and variability in performance.
Using this portfolio approach allows us to identify the key roles in an organization that provide high value to clients, are genuinely unique to the company and are most conducive to performance improvement—thereby providing the very best candidates for an organization to invest time, money and energy in recruiting/retaining/developing personnel for those roles.

This webinar focuses on the realities of a failing business from the owners’ perspective.

Succession Planning: Opportunities and Benefits of Employee Ownershipproject-equity
Are you a business owner thinking about succession planning? Or are you wanting to support locally-owned businesses to stay in their communities? Project Equity and the National Center for Employee Ownership offer this webinar to share essential information on important succession planning options available to business owners through employee ownership. We will review the main features of employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs) and worker-owned cooperatives, and will discuss the benefits and distinctions of each, including resources for how to learn more, and how to get support. Rob Brown from Cooperative Development Institute shares a case study of a business that sold to its employees to a worker-owned cooperative.
For business owners who want to see their businesses remain in their communities, want their employees to be well taken care of when they retire or sell their business, and who want their mission and the core strengths of their business to remain intact, employee ownership is a great fit.
Effective workforce planning can be difficult because of the challenges associated with determining overall headcount. Decision makers need greater insight into resource demands and costs associated with personnel planning. A strategic workforce plan will help your organization avoid under-staffing, over-staffing, or misallocating employees, which can severely halt growth.
Ken Fick, of Pierce The Fog, will discuss how many high-performance organizations manage to conduct workforce planning to ensure agility and success effectively. He will explain how their approach can be broken down into several strategies that will help you gain an edge over competitors and increase revenue for your organization.
Learning Objectives
After this webinar, you will be able to:
1. Discuss ways to forecast attrition and workforce demand planning.
2. Describe how to leverage workforce planning scenarios.
3. Develop a workforce plan to gain a productive advantage.
4. Give examples of how to reduce the impact of workforce fluctuations on strategic, operating, and financial plans.
