[DSC Europe 22] The Making of a Data Organization - Denys HolovatyiDataScienceConferenc1
Data teams often struggle to deliver value. KPIs, data pipelines, or ML driven predictions aren't inherently useful - unless the data team enables the business to use them. Having worked on 37 data projects over the past 5 years, with total client revenue clocking at about $350B, I started noticing simple success factors - and summarized those in the Operating Model Canvas & the Value Delivery Process. With those, I branched out into what I call data organization consulting and help clients build their data teams for success, the one you see not only on paper but also in your P&L. In this talk, I'll share some insight with you.

Advances in technology and the introduction of innovative implants and prosthetics have further propelled the market growth. Additionally, government initiatives aimed at improving healthcare infrastructure and the increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases have led to an upward trend in orthopedic surgeries, thereby fueling the market demand for these devices.
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.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Sales
• No accurate method for sizing the sale based on extenuating work effort
• Vague sales plan
• Some recent good momentum – always threatened by “other” work

Corporate / Cultural
• Strong sense of purpose, good people with genuine passion for building sustainable

• Weak business operational practices are hindering growth
• No clear business segmentation or division of roles and responsibilities
• Need a methodology to flow strategy thru tactical execution
• Faulty sales to implementation process

• Client communication is lacking, i.e., need to convey break/fix remediation, upgrade

9. Findings
Project Management
• Project management is either non-existent or very weak. Clients recognize this
weakness.
• Due to no PM tools or templates, project data is stored in multiple places with no
regimen or governing policy. Having inaccurate or unreliable data inhibits the ability
to drive, manage, and report progress. It also hinders the teams ability to credibly
estimate future effort.

Overall criticality of issue.
1 = not that important - nice to have
2 = moderate importance - could help staff, customers, etc.
3 = critical - a "must have/do". Without it, the company could be in jeopardy.
Score
System calculation. The higher the score, the more critical.

Editor's Notes
product has great features for tracking cost and patient information opportunities to allow agencies to share (network) talent pool HC and Ed are fraught with financial problems, government regulations and NYS has been hit hardest recently – many small companies have been forced out of business. This has slowed iClaims business. They need to venture out of state for new business. Looking to partner or merge with some companies in California. They create multiple instances of a the SQLServer database for each client. Hosted in Texas. Totally browser based, off the internet. Theracare and other large companies are bringing it internal on local servers and their intranet. GUI is band-based, Excel-like. Straight-ahead business no pizzazz. Some UPM capability but limited – at the sub-tab but not at the main tab level. Users can add fields as needed but at this time they are all text fields. integration is all flat file export (CVS). No real API connectivity. No real pc footprint – plugins require a PDF reader and Crystal reports runtime engine Security is basic but effective No real upgrade methodology. They do have a users group and collect data 2xs a year. Upgrades come when they come. At v 2.50 No integration methodology. Integration to enterprise systems is relatively new to them. They have basic support services bundled into the subscription cost. Most support issues come directly online through a feature in the application. They get about 2 a day and they’re often just “How to..” questions. They are open to partnerships to assist in development, integration, PM, marketing but so far only tried development services which were costly and largely ineffective Slowly moving to .NET, right now it’s .ASP and SQLServer Code is not an executable and accessible – not good!
