How to Speak Human - Turning Big Data Insights into Actionable Business StrategyLuciano Pesci, PhD
Big Data has failed to deliver on its promise because decision-makers and technical practitioners aren't speaking the same language. Cryptic data outputs have to be translated into simple strategy recommendations to turn this trend around.
When you come into an organisation as a new leader, you are expected to reel in results. And you need to move fast. But, do you know what lies beneath the surface? What gets people going? What should be your first priorities?

Design and Data Processes Unified - 3rd Corner ViewJulian Jordan
In this presentation (given in early 2020) I explain that to build digital products, data analysts/scientists and designers need to leverage each other’s processes and work as a unit.
I introduce the problem solving approach of data analysts/scientists and designers as well as how to combine these approaches. Additionally, I explain how mental models and algorithms, while associated with design and data science, respectively, are similar ways to represent phenomena and questions about them.
10 Tips for women to build a career in data scienceCarol Hargreaves
This presentation highlights the 10 things women should focus on when building a career in Data Science. Starting with the business question is key. Talking to the business users, business managers. stakeholders to understand the business question and how the results will impact the different employee roles is most important. Next is using only the relevant data to solve the business problem. After that, we should have good evaluation methods to ensure the analytical solution is sound. And lastly, but not least, show how the analytical results and models impact business in terms of its revenue, profitability, and operational efficiency.

When writing this new paper, my main objective was to provide a clear understanding of where the term "Big Data" comes from, why is that term so popular now, what does it really mean and what can be its implication for businesses. Because the full power of Big Data can be revealed only by Analytics, i provided a description of a widely recognized and used analytical techniques to help you figure out how used in conjunction with Big Data, analytics can boost Business Performance.
i expected that by the end of this paper :
- you will smile the next time you read or hear at the terms big data, hadoop, or analytics :)
- you will understand the technologies that are behind the scene when one talks about "Big Data"
- you will know how to "make sense" of Big Data using Analytics
- you will get a basic idea of data mining techniques used in Business in general and in Big Data in particular
- you will be able to get every news about Big Data
it provide you information about public policy, its elements , policy cycle and its importance it also provide you information about problem solving process..These 8 lectures provide you the complete knowledge about public policy analysis.

As Europe's leading economic powerhouse and the fourth-largest hashtag#economy globally, Germany stands at the forefront of innovation and industrial might. Renowned for its precision engineering and high-tech sectors, Germany's economic structure is heavily supported by a robust service industry, accounting for approximately 68% of its GDP. This economic clout and strategic geopolitical stance position Germany as a focal point in the global cyber threat landscape.
In the face of escalating global tensions, particularly those emanating from geopolitical disputes with nations like hashtag#Russia and hashtag#China, hashtag#Germany has witnessed a significant uptick in targeted cyber operations. Our analysis indicates a marked increase in hashtag#cyberattack sophistication aimed at critical infrastructure and key industrial sectors. These attacks range from ransomware campaigns to hashtag#AdvancedPersistentThreats (hashtag#APTs), threatening national security and business integrity.
🔑 Key findings include:
🔍 Increased frequency and complexity of cyber threats.
🔍 Escalation of state-sponsored and criminally motivated cyber operations.
🔍 Active dark web exchanges of malicious tools and tactics.
Our comprehensive report delves into these challenges, using a blend of open-source and proprietary data collection techniques. By monitoring activity on critical networks and analyzing attack patterns, our team provides a detailed overview of the threats facing German entities.
This report aims to equip stakeholders across public and private sectors with the knowledge to enhance their defensive strategies, reduce exposure to cyber risks, and reinforce Germany's resilience against cyber threats.

How to Start Thinking
Like a
Data Scientist
2. YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE
A DATA SCIENTIST OR
A BAYESIAN STATISTICIAN
TO TEASE USEFUL INSIGHTS FROM
DATA
3. KEY STEPS:
• Become data literate, open your eyes to the millions
of small data opportunities, and enable you work a bit
more effectively with data scientists, analytics, and all
things quantitative.
• Start with something that interests. Whatever it is,
form it up as a question and write it down.
• Next, think through the data that can help answer
your question, and develop a plan for creating them.
Write down all the relevant definitions and your
protocol for collecting the data.
4. • Now collect the data. It is critical that you trust the data.
And, as you go, you’re almost certain to find gaps in data
collection. Modify your definition and protocol as you go
along.
• Sooner than you think, you’ll be ready to start drawing
some pictures. Good pictures make it easier for you to
both understand the data and communicate main points
to others.
• Now return to the question that you started with and
develop summary statistics.
• Answer the “So what?” question.
5. • Get a feel for variation. Understanding variation leads to a
better feel for the overall problem, deeper insights, and
novel ideas for improvement.
• Now ask, “What else does the data reveal?”
• Repeat the same analysis steps and keep the focus narrow.
You will surely get your answer!
8. SIMPLE APPROACH
1.Posing questions.
2.Making observations and inferences.
3.Developing hypothesis.
4.Designing experiments.
5.Making measurements and collecting data.
6.Drawing conclusions.
7.Effectively communicating the conclusions.
9.
10. The “thinking like a data
scientist” framework will help the
business stakeholders to collaborate
with data scientists to uncover those
variables and metrics that can improve
business performance and drive
business and financial value.
11. Why and how are these insights relevant to a manager in
India?
Slowly but steadily, data are forcing their way into every
nook and cranny of every industry, company, and job.
Managers who aren’t data savvy, who can’t conduct basic
analyses, interpret more complex ones, and interact with
data scientists are already at a disadvantage. Companies
without a large and growing cadre of data-savvy
managers are similarly disadvantaged.

14. CONCLUSION:
There are fewer and fewer
places for the “data illiterate”
and, in my humble opinion, no
more excuses.
