Information is the principle driver of competitive advantage. How it is collected, analysed and communicated determines our success. No single resource is more critical to organisational survival.
The amount of data in the world is exponentially increasing, to a point where companies capture significant amounts of information about their customers, suppliers, and operations. Millions of networked sensors are being embedded in everything from mobile phones to cars. Social networks and location data from mobile devices will continue to fuel this exponential data growth. These huge data pools are commonly being referred to as "big data".
This talk examines how analytics and big data are exploiting information to drive competitive advantage.

A presentation for the Managing Partners’ Forum. Separating the needs of the individual and those of then organisation has always been an issue for KM and Learning. At times these needs align, sometimes they need to be reconciled and at other times they diverge, particularly when an individual moves to another organisation. The presentation looks specifically at the changing nature of organisations and the emergent power of networks and networking. Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) is a competence we must all learn in order to remain relevant to our organisation. But who ultimately “owns” the ‘corporate’ knowledge that we gather through the workplace networks we nurture and sustain, and do the organisations we work for even recognise the importance of these networks as places for continual learning, knowledge sharing and incubators for innovation?

Abstract
While database operations comprise the majority of the organizational data operations management focus, other data delivery options, e.g. portals and virtualization, are interacting with increasingly complex regulatory environments. This presents organizations with dense analysis challenges in order to understand reporting obligations. Using the Zachman Framework as a guide, you will learn how to understand and approach data operations challenges from tuning to real-time reconfiguration. This presentation provides you with an understanding of data operations management, including the initiation, operation, tuning, maintenance, backup/recovery, archiving and disposal of data assets in support of organizational strategies and other activities.
The document discusses the future of advanced analytics and how increasing data volume, variety, and velocity are impacting businesses, governments, and individuals. It states that the success of organizations is driven by the use of advanced analytics to analyze trends, create predictive models, and optimize business processes. The presentation will examine current and future trends in analytics, with emphasis on embedded analytics and how analytics must adapt to real-time information. Attendees will learn about the future directions of advanced analytics.
The document discusses how augmented intelligence can enhance human expertise through a cognitive fabric. It proposes combining intelligent machines with human reasoning by using contextual intelligence to recognize context and uncover relationships across all data sources. This would allow discovering insights in minutes that previously took days. The cognitive fabric would provide a new partnership between people and computers by engaging users in conversations, learning from interactions, and constantly improving. It aims to help organizations maximize business value from all their data.

Real-World Data Governance: Managing Data & Information as an Asset - Governa...DATAVERSITY
This document discusses managing data and information as assets through real-world data governance. It describes an upcoming webinar on what governed data looks like and how to achieve it. The webinar will cover definitions of key terms, managing data as an asset, and the differences between data and information. It will also discuss how governed data provides improved business understanding, decision making, and risk management compared to ungoverned data.
Data-Ed Online: Emerging Trends in Data JobsDATAVERSITY
Data is the lifeblood of just about every organization and functional area today. As businesses struggle to come to grips with the data flood, it is even more critical to focus on data as an asset that directly supports business imperatives as other organizational assets do. Organizations across most industries attempt to address data opportunities (e.g. Big Data) and data challenges (e.g. data quality) to enhance business unit performance. Unfortunately however, the results of these efforts frequently fall far below expectations due to haphazard approaches. Overall, poor organizational data management capabilities are the root cause of many of these failures. This webinar covers three lessons (illustrated by examples), which will help you to establish realistic OM plans and expectations, and help demonstrate the value of such actions to both internal and external decision makers.
Takeaways:
Organizational thinking must change: Value-added data management practices must be considered and included as a vital part of your business strategy.
Walk before you run with data focused initiatives: Understand and implement necessary data management prerequisites as a foundation, then build upon that foundation.
There are no silver bullets: Tools alone are not the answer. Specifying business requirements, business practices and data governance are almost always more important.
Real-World Data Governance Webinar: Data Governance, Big Data, and the CloudDATAVERSITY
This document describes an upcoming webinar on real-world data governance, big data, and the cloud. The webinar will discuss how big data and cloud computing impact data governance and how organizations can prepare their governance strategies for these new technologies. The webinar abstract previews key discussion points around governing big data and data in the cloud. An introduction defines data governance and outlines the webinar agenda covering big data governance, governing data in the cloud, and how the three pillars of governance relate.
Real-World Data Governance: Navigating the Ocean of Data Governance ToolsDATAVERSITY
What exactly is a Data Governance tool? Is it what the software companies say it is? Is it something we can develop internally? Is it the traditional data dictionary or business glossary? The answers to these questions are in reverse Yes, Yes, Yes and whatever you say it is. This needs to be explained.
This month’s Real-World Data Governance webinar with Bob Seiner will look at the types of Data Governance Tools on the market and the types of tools that can be delivered internally while evaluating the pros, cons and considerations for selecting the combination that will enhance the capability of your Data Governance program.
This session will cover:
How to Develop Data Governance Tool Requirements
Tools that are Available on the Market and Their Capabilities
Tools that can be Delivered Internally
How to Leverage Tools You Already Own
How to Justify the Purchase of Available Software
Social media is increasingly prevalent in both personal and professional lives. Over half of UK adults use social networks, and nearly all employees use social media for work. While many organizations block social media access, fewer will do so in the future. Social media allows for new forms of collaboration and value creation through crowdsourcing, crowdfunding, social customer care, and open leadership. Adopting social practices can improve knowledge sharing, problem solving, innovation, and employee engagement. Organizations that embrace social media may see benefits like new products and revenue, better business outcomes, and lower employee turnover.
Data Governance & Data Steward CertificationDATAVERSITY
Becoming certified means that you have been provided some form of external review, education, assessment, or audit and that you passed that review. Being certified can make the difference in getting a job or that desirable position. Many people are seeking certification to differentiate themselves from their competition. It makes sense.
Join Bob Seiner for this month’s installment of Real-World Data Governance to explore the depth of necessity of certification in the field of data governance and the responsibility of the data stewards. Bob will talk about the different certifications available and direct you to the one that is appropriate according to your responsibilities. It may not be as easy as you think. Learn why in this webinar.

RWDG Webinar Everybody is a Data StewardDATAVERSITY
This document discusses the concept that everybody in an organization can be considered a data steward. It begins by defining data governance and data stewardship, and introducing the concept of "Non-Invasive Data Governance". It then discusses how leadership is beginning to recognize that everyone with a relationship to organizational data should be held accountable for that relationship. The document considers how to expand the traditional view of data stewardship to include everybody, and potential benefits and challenges to this approach. It also outlines different types of data stewards and their typical responsibilities.
Real-World Data Governance: Governing Data – Big and Small, Come One Come AllDATAVERSITY

Creating an EDGE - Enterprise Data Governance ExperienceDATAVERSITY
Industry is challenged to ride the Big Data tidal wave. The average organization doesn’t use half of its structured data in decision-making, and less than one percent of unstructured data is analyzed or used at all, according to Harvard Business Review.
That’s a lot of untapped, ungoverned data assets and therefore unmitigated risks and missed opportunities. However, if data is accessible, reliable and actionable, it can drive serious results – from regulatory compliance (think GDPR) to topline revenue.
So, forget everything you know about data governance as it’s been practiced until now. It’s time to adopt a persona-based approach that joins IT and business functions to ensure organizational objectives are met with everyone – from executives on down – invested in and accountable for data use.
Creating such an end-to-end enterprise data governance experience makes data governance everyone’s business. Then they can manage data’s downsides while maximizing its upsides for optimal organizational performance.
Creating a Data-Driven Organization, Crunchconf, October 2015Carl Anderson
Creating a data-driven organization requires developing a data-driven culture. Key aspects of a data-driven culture include having a strong testing culture that encourages hypothesis generation and experimentation, an open and sharing culture without data silos, a self-service culture where business units have necessary data access and analytical skills, and broad data literacy across all decision makers. Ultimately, an organization is data-driven when it uses data to drive impact and business results by pushing data through an analytics value chain from collection to analysis to decisions and actions. Maintaining a data-driven culture requires continuous effort as well as data leadership from a chief data or analytics officer.
Creating a Data-Driven Organization, Data Day Texas, January 2016Carl Anderson
What does it mean for an organization to be data-driven? How does an organization get there? Many organizations think that they are data-driven but the reality is that few genuinely are and that we could all do better. In this talk, I cover what it truly means to be data driven. The answer, it turns out, is not to do with the latest tools and technologies (although they can help) but having an appropriate data culture than spans the whole organization, where data is accessible broadly, embedded into operations and processes, and enables effective decision making. In this presentation, I dissect what an effective data-driven culture entails, covering facets such as data leadership, data literacy, and A/B testing, illustrating concepts with examples from different industries as well as personal experience.

2017 06-14-getting started with data scienceThinkful
The document provides an overview of getting started with a career in data science. It introduces the author Jasjit Singh and discusses what a data scientist does, how the field has emerged to analyze big data. Examples are given of how companies like LinkedIn and Uber use data science. The data science process is explained through the steps of framing a question, collecting and processing data, exploring patterns in the data, and communicating findings. Tools used include SQL, data visualization software, and machine learning algorithms. The document encourages the reader that becoming a data scientist is achievable through learning statistics, algorithms, and software skills.
A lot of companies make the mistake of thinking that just hiring Data Scientists will lead to increased revenue or increased profit. For a company’s investment in Data Science to be successful the Data Scientists need to work on the right problems, with the right people, and with the right tools. In this presentation, I will talk about the lessons I have learned, and mistakes made in applying Data Science in commercial settings over the last 10 years. I will highlight what processes can increase the chances of Data Science investment being successful.
Business leaders everywhere are looking to data to inform their decision making. Accompanying this demand are misunderstandings of what it takes to transform data into something that can inform a decision. What is the data infrastructure required? In this talk, I'll dispel some of these misunderstandings and discuss what it takes to build good data infrastructure. I'll discuss the components of a good data infrastructure. The best practices and available tools for gathering data, processing it, storing it, analyzing it and communicating the results. The goal is for these components to create a data infrastructure which can evolve from simple reporting to sophisticated insights for decision making.

Creating a Data-Driven Organization (Data Day Seattle 2015)Carl Anderson
Creating a Data-Driven Organization
The document discusses how to create a data-driven organization. It argues that being data-driven requires having strong analytics, a data-focused culture, and using data to drive impact and business results. Some key aspects of a data-driven culture discussed are having a testing mindset, open data sharing, self-service analytics access for business units, broad data literacy, and visible data leadership. The presentation provides examples of actions organizations can take to promote a data-driven culture, such as improving analyst competencies and linking metrics to strategic goals. It cautions that becoming complacent once progress is made can undermine data-driven efforts, as demonstrated by Tesco's experience.

Big Data : From HindSight to Insight to ForesightSunil Ranka
When it comes to Analytics and Reporting , There is a fine line between HindSight to Insight to Foresight . With the evolution of BigData technology, there is a need in deriving value out of the larger datasets, not available in the past. Even before we can start using the new shiny technologies, there is a need of understanding what is categorized as reporting or business intelligence or Big Data and Analytics. Based on my experience, people struggle to distinguish between reporting, Analytics, and Business Intelligence.
Unlocking the Value of Big Data (Innovation Summit 2014)Dun & Bradstreet
Big Data is central to the strategic thinking of today’s innovators and business executives as companies are scrambling to figure out the secret to transforming Big Data to Big Insight and that Insight into Action. As many companies struggle with the emerging technologies and nascent capabilities to discover and curate massive quantities of highly dynamic data, new problems are emerging in the form of how to ask meaningful questions that leverage the “V’s” of large amounts of data (e.g. volume, variety, velocity, veracity). In the Business-to-Business space, these challenges are creating both significant opportunity and ominous new types of risk. This presentation discusses how companies are reacting to these changes and provide valuable insight into new ways of thinking in a world with overwhelming quantities of data.

- The document discusses a session on data analysis and visualization for security professionals. It provides key learning points about using data and visualization to understand environments, thinking of solutions rather than just buying tools, and how visualization can quickly communicate complexity.
- Some tools mentioned for visualization include R, Python, Tableau, and MongoDB. Guidelines discussed include using simple, truthful visualizations and that data visualization is a skill that must be learned.
20 Emerging influencers in 2020 for big dataRiver11river
You might have not heard most of these names yet, but you surely will soon. This list is designed to recognize emerging talent in the fields of data and analytics – mostly entrepreneurs and up-and-coming talent who are informing, educating and inspiring others through data. They come from different sectors and backgrounds – from data architecture to visualization. The one thing that unites them is their passion for data.
It seems the world is all fascinated with amazing insight from Big Data... but we all know what really matters is the VALUE unlocked from those insights...
Too often we assume that smart people will know what to do if the Masters of Data Science unloads new wisdom on the business. The reality is we have to empower the ultimate people who have to act on these new insights with processes and business levers that also smarter.
In this presentation, we explore what is the difference between insight and value... the difference between a finding that is interesting, and a finding that has impact.
The presentation captures a career of learnings in Big Data and Advanced Analytics as the Lead Partner who established and led Deloitte's Advanced Analytics practice in WA

Open Source Contributions to Postgres: The Basics POSETTE 2024ElizabethGarrettChri
Postgres is the most advanced open-source database in the world and it's supported by a community, not a single company. So how does this work? How does code actually get into Postgres? I recently had a patch submitted and committed and I want to share what I learned in that process. I’ll give you an overview of Postgres versions and how the underlying project codebase functions. I’ll also show you the process for submitting a patch and getting that tested and committed.

Big Data is like Teenager Sex:
Everyone talks about it,
nobody really knows how to do it,
everyone thinks everyone else is doing it,
so everyone claims they are doing it…

15. The impediments to becoming more data driven
The adoption barriers organisations face most are managerial and cultural rather than related to data and technology.
Research findings:
• Top-performing organisations are twice as likely to apply analytics to activities.
• The biggest challenges in adopting analytics are managerial and cultural.
• Visualising data differently will become increasingly valuable.

49. How Kleenex applied action-oriented analytics
COLD AND FLU CAMPAIGN
What can we learn from Kleenex’s approach?
• Applying data to support an adaptive planning process beats the best ‘guesstimates’
• If you can’t find the information you need, think outside the box
• When you have the data make sure to visualise it, and deliver it to people who can take action
• Make the case an internal success story, and get other parts of the business engaged

53. How Target applied action-oriented analytics
PREGNANCY PREDICTION SCORE
What did Target do, and what can we learn?
• In 2002 Target hired Andrew Pole as an statistician
!
• Two guys from marketing: “If we wanted to figure out if a customer is pregnant,
even if she didn’t want us to know, can you do that?”
!
• They were able to identify about 25 different products that were indicators of
pregnancy, including items like unscented lotion, vitamin supplements, hand
sanitizers and washcloths.
• Andrew was able to create a model that assigned each shopper a pregnancy
prediction score based on their purchases
!
• This score was then used to send out relevant coupons and advertisements tailored
to each woman at a specific point in her pregnancy
!
• Target’s Mom and Baby department skyrocketed.
