Big data hype by gregory piatetsky shapiro
The document discusses Gregory Piatetsky-Shapiro's analysis of "Big Data Hype" and provides key insights. It covers how big data offers unprecedented awareness of phenomena but that better prediction of consumer behavior through big data may have limited benefits. While big data analytics can improve predictions to some extent, its biggest impact will be in creating new areas. It also notes that visualizing data through graphical methods makes analysis easier and can boost business growth.

Stop searching for that elusive data scientist by michael schrage
Data scientists with deep technical skills are rare and companies should consider alternative approaches to build internal data science capabilities, such as hiring people with strong business and problem-solving skills who can then learn necessary technical skills on the job. Rather than viewing data science as a job title, companies would be better off focusing on data science as a set of problems to be solved and processes to be established.
A leaders guide to data analytics
This document summarizes key points from "A Leader's Guide to Data Analytics" by Aloukik Aditya. It emphasizes that the most important skills in analytics are thinking skills, not technical skills. It also stresses that analytics needs to start with a clear question or problem in mind. Additionally, it notes that domain knowledge is crucial for managers to account for strange results from data and that the most crucial step is understanding how the data was generated.
Analysis of "A Predictive Analytics Primer" by Tom Davenport
This document provides an overview of predictive analytics. It explains that predictive analysis uses past data to predict future outcomes. It emphasizes that the quality of the underlying data is crucial, as poor or unrepresentative data can negatively impact predictive models. The document also notes that assumptions used in models are important and can become invalid over time as behaviors change. It concludes by highlighting some key questions managers should ask analysts to better understand the limitations and validity of predictive analytics results.
Analysis of "3 ways to spot a bad statistic" by Mona Chalabi
Mona Chalabi discusses three questions to evaluate the reliability of statistics: 1) Does the data show uncertainty? 2) Can you see your demographic group represented? 3) How was the data collected? She argues that asking these questions can help identify "bad statistics" that lack context, omit parts of the population, or were gathered through flawed methods, leading to poor decision making. Understanding how to scrutinize statistics is important because governments and businesses often rely on numbers to set policies and strategies.
Data is worthless if you dont communicate it by thomas h.davenport
The document discusses the importance of communicating data and insights in business. It notes that data is worthless if not communicated effectively. It also emphasizes that one should not assume results will speak for themselves and communication is key to ensure success. The document proposes a framework for communication in business analysis that involves understanding the business problem, measuring impact, identifying available data, forming hypotheses and solutions, assessing business impact of solutions, and defining success. Ultimately, it stresses that communication is the most important factor.
The beauty of data visualization by david maccandless
Data visualization uses visual representations of data such as charts and plots to reveal patterns and trends. It transforms raw data into a graphical format that is easy to understand and analyze. When data is visualized, it provides insights that are relevant for business growth and management decisions by making the data simpler to comprehend than raw numbers and statistics.

Are You Data Driven? Take a Hard Look in the Mirror by Thomas C. Redman
This document discusses traits of being data-driven. It identifies that data-driven individuals make decisions at the lowest level possible, bring diverse data to situations, and use data to develop deeper understanding. They also deal with uncertainty, integrate data with intuition, recognize the importance of quality data, conduct experiments, and learn from mistakes. Specifically, data-driven companies push decision making down the organization and invest in quality data. Being data-driven can help businesses grow by facilitating decision making.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
