3.Predictions for 2022
Agenda

3. 1. Industry Data Cloud and Marketplace
The proliferation of the mesh architecture and the
Data Cloud will continue. Companies would unleash
the Internet of Data (i.e., the Data Cloud). Teams on
the Data Cloud will have ubiquitous access, sharing,
and collaboration of datasets. Verticals would tab into
this to build industry-specific use cases around data.
E.g., Supply chain vertical, healthcare, banking.
Players in all these verticals would consolidate, share
and collaborate with data to solve industry problems.
The marketplace of data and engineering outputs
would take hold. Instead of the code editor, the
marketplace would be the point of entry for
development. Developers who typically reach for the
code editor first would go for the market.

4. 2. Composable Applications
The need to rapidly deliver a seamless,
personalized digital experience will
continue. Emphasizes would be placed on
Portability, Interoperability, cross-cloud,
platform, and location agnostics solutions.
Repackaged businesses capabilities,
automation that runs anywhere, any cloud,
leveraging any language for any skillset;
will empower the tech team and the
business and non-technical teams to solve
their problems.

5. 3. Hyper-Convergence
The walls that separate fields, disciplines, and
industries will continue to collapse. Technology,
biology, chemistry, culture, politics, and A.I. will blare,
and the distinctions would be less apparent. Hence
extreme collaboration of not just data but mindshare
would be needed to take interdsplicanary problems at
scale. Case in point, COVIDs blast radius isn't just
limited to medicine or pharma. Supply chain,
commerce, politics, education all have to respond. A
collaborative and convergent response we saw will
only continue to grow stronger.
The tendency to lose sight of these distinct problem
spaces often leads to sub-optimal results in tool
selection or solution approach.

6. 4. Auto-Everything
The need to automate everything.
AutoML, AutoAI, Auto ML, Auto
Ingest, Auto Quality, and Auto
Engineering. Self-healing processes
and pipelines that eliminate humans
in the middle would be the goal of
many engineering teams.
Ultimately, the end goal is faster
development, quicker iteration, and
fewer errors and risk.

7. 5. Privacy-Enhancing Computating
The trade-offs between privacy and
accuracy will continue fiercely. The
regulatory landscape will continue to
shake up, and companies will find
new ways of surviving in a cookieless
world. Capabilities like Differential
Privacy, Federated learning,
Homomorphic encryption, Data
Clean rooms, e.t.c. will be embraced
by more teams and industries.

8. 6. Remote Natives
The generation of workers who've
never stepped foot into an office
building will be three years into their
tenure.
Remote first platforms like Metaverse
will take hold, Fusion Teams will gain
momentum, and virtual and more
immersive work experiences will
continue.

9. 7. Generalized Language Models
2022 will be the breakout year of language models.
GPT-4, GPT-Neo, Jurassic-1 Jumbo, GPT-DALLe,
e.t.c. will take hold and get even closer to
engineering teams. A.I. labs and engineering teams
will elevate from producing one-off consumable
models; to creating more generalized models and
platforms. Teams will build on these generalized
models to solve wicked problems like summarization,
medical notes parsing, text to image, e.t.c.
One of the big A.I. NLP research labs (DeepMind,
OpenAI, and FAIR (Facebook A.I. research]) will
deploy the first 1 trillion parameters language model.
And (prediction) Microsoft will go all in and buy
OpenAI.

10. 8. Anti-Fragile
Dev teams would continue on the DevOps
practice and fight how they practice.
Engineering teams would go beyond building
robust systems to building antifragile.
Chaos Engineering will create hypotheses,
automate experiments and minimize blast
radius.
Stakeholders, auditors, and the market will
demand tests for unexpected failures .i.e
Antifragile systems.

11. 9. Operational Excellence
Operational excellence will be at the
forefront of teams. Fragile systems that
crack under pressure will not be
acceptable.
Natural and artificial disasters will be in
no short supply. Teams will build systems
that account for known unknowns and
unknown ones - like COVID. And this
takes maniacal focus on Innovation and
operations.

12. 10. DARQ Power (again)!
I have this on the list because I had it on a
previous list. DARQ is promoted heavily by
Accenture and stands for distributed ledger
technology, artificial intelligence, extended
reality, and quantum computing.
Every single one of the technologies will be
auspicious. Combined, they are
unstoppable. In this space going into 2022,
NFTs will make their way into corporate
boardroom discussions; we will see another
impressive Quantum computing milestone.

Book Summary
Technology and Data Analytics is a booming and lucrative field to build a career in. Many people on a the sidelines looking in don’t have a game plan on how to
get in. And as we know, Failing to plan, is planning to fail.
This book will inspire you by presenting a solid game plan for success. Beyond inspiration though, the book is meant to be 100% tactical. You will be exposed to
many concepts, along with a rich library of resources in each chapter to help you learn the concepts in depth.
In the end, you’ll be presented with compelling stories of individuals like Patrick who’ve changed their lives and are making a difference in the companies they
work for because they had a game plan that they executed well.
At the end of the day, I wouldn’t have done my job if you finished without having a game plan for yourself or a useful place to start. Whether you take it
sequentially as presented here, or some variation of it, be sure to have a game plan. It’s that important.
