This document discusses agile practices for big data projects. It notes that learning organizations are more likely to succeed with big data projects if they have an appetite for experimentation, learn from mistakes, and can pivot decisions based on new information. A data-driven culture is important, where most decisions are made based on data and feedback is incorporated quickly. Iterative approaches help refine problems and questions, not just solutions. Science itself is an agile process where understanding evolves incrementally through refinements. Community groups in Riyadh are mentioned for sharing knowledge about agile methods and big data.

Scottish Summit 2021 The Myth of a successful Teams rolloutThomas Gölles
Many companies had to roll out MS Teams over the last few months in a hurry with little to no time to think about governance and no budget for adoption & change activities.
Realization set in later that giving the business users everything was not the best option. Topics like naming conventions, when to use which tool, team creation, external users, mobile device management, and more need to be addressed after all.
Join this session to learn how to reign in an ad hoc MS Teams rollout that will make the IT team sleep better at night, the business users feel less overwhelmed, and create sustainability. Or join this session to learn how to plan your upcoming roll out thoroughly to make it a success for everyone during these difficult times.

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.
This document provides an overview of data science including its importance, what data scientists do, how the field has emerged, and how to become a data scientist. It notes that by 2018 the US could face shortages of people with data analytics skills. It then discusses how LinkedIn's early growth in 2006 exemplifies the data science process of framing questions, collecting and processing data, exploring patterns, and communicating results. Finally, it outlines the tools used in data science like SQL, analytics software, and machine learning and discusses getting started in the field through education, curiosity, and ongoing learning with mentorship support.
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.
This document provides an overview of data science including its importance, what data scientists do, how the field has emerged, and how to become a data scientist.

Data Infused Product Design and Insights at LinkedInYael Garten
Presentation from a talk given at Boston Big Data Innovation Summit, September 2012.
Summary: The Data Science team at LinkedIn focuses on 3 main goals: (1) providing data-driven business and product insights, (2) creating data products, and (3) extracting interesting insights from our data such as analysis of the economic status of the country or identifying hot companies in a certain geographic region. In this talk I describe how we ensure that our products are data driven -- really data infused at the core -- and share interesting insights we uncover using LinkedIn's rich data. We discuss what makes a good data scientist, and what techniques and technologies LinkedIn data scientists use to convert our rich data into actionable product and business insights, to create data-driven products that truly serve our members.
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.
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.
The Heart of Data Modeling: 7 Ways Your Agile Project is Managing Data WrongDATAVERSITY
Karen Lopez gave a webinar on integrating data modeling into agile projects. She discussed what agile is and how data modeling often fits incorrectly by being treated as documentation rather than an integral part of development. She provided 7 common mistakes, such as expecting data modeling to be completed instantly or by generalists. Lopez offered 10 tips for data modelers, including embracing agile techniques and getting data modeling tasks scheduled in sprints ahead of development. The webinar aimed to help data modelers and teams better incorporate modeling into iterative agile processes.
This document discusses data scientist profiles and provides guidance on building data scientist teams. It begins by establishing the importance of analytics for businesses. It then discusses the term "data scientist" and characterizes data scientists as having diverse backgrounds but being curious and asking important questions. The document outlines skills of data scientists and notes that while backgrounds vary, soft skills are very important. It provides tips for recruiting data scientists and emphasizes getting started with an analytical team even without perfect conditions.
This document provides an overview and introduction to big data. It discusses the technical challenges of big data including issues of volume, variety, velocity and veracity. It also discusses solutions like Hadoop, MapReduce, and big data databases. Additionally, it covers big data analytics including different levels of analytics maturity and techniques like data mining, machine learning, and predictive analytics. Finally, it provides resources for learning more about big data including online courses, sandbox environments, open source tools, and public datasets.
Transforming Networking within ESIP using ResearchBitErin Robinson
Geoscientists increasingly need interdisciplinary teams to solve their research problems. Currently, geoscientists use Research Networking (RN) systems to connect with each other and find people of similar and dissimilar interests. As we shift to digitally mediated scholarship, we need innovative methods for scholarly communication. Formal methods for scholarly communication are undergoing vast transformation owing to the open-access movement and reproducible research. However, informal scholarly communication that takes place at professional society meetings and conferences, like AGU, has received limited research attention relying primarily on serendipitous interaction.
The ResearchBit project aims to fundamentally improve informal methods of scholarly communication by leveraging the serendipitous interactions of researchers and making them more aware of co-located potential collaborators with mutual interests. This presentation will describe our preliminary hardware testing done at the Federation for Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) Summer meeting this past July and the initial recommendation system design. The presentation will also cover the cultural shifts and hurdles to introducing new technology, the privacy concerns of tracking technology and how we are addressing those new issues.

By embedding your organization's expertise in AI models, you can not only persist and scale knowledge to maintain a competitive advantage but also free creative resources for new business models. Instead of being swayed by the noise on eg. LinkedIn and other people's ideas and successes, focus on building your own data & AI solutions.
1. AI Implementation: Moving beyond a high-level understanding of AI, we'll explore guidelines and best practices for identifying the right starting point for AI adoption in your business.
2. From Prototypes to Production: Although open source and boilerplate code make prototyping easier, we'll examine various use cases to understand how to transition from prototypes to production, and other options to consider.
3. Navigating the Journey: Learn best practices for dealing with your business's legacy systems and determine when migrating to Open Source is a viable plan.
4. Driving Impact at Scale: Innovation encompasses various elements, including cloud, open source software, software engineering, and corporate culture. We'll discuss architectural best practices for managing multiple components simultaneously.
5. Overcoming Inexperience: If you have the necessary resources but lack experience, discover how to identify missing elements and accelerate progress in your digital transformation journey.
Each of these insights will be supported by real-life use cases, demonstrating the challenges and solutions involved in maximizing AI's value for your business and maintaining a competitive edge. Furthermore, integrating AI effectively can also enhance company culture and contribute to happier, more engaged employees, creating additional value for your organization.

Creating a new sea story - a first aid kit for ocean communicationsCharityComms
The document discusses creating effective communication strategies for raising awareness about ocean conservation. It recommends establishing that the ocean has health, showing how human health is connected, communicating past harms, focusing on solutions and stewardship, being creative, and repeating key messages. The Marine CoLAB aims to cultivate public understanding of ocean systems and solutions through collaboration, experimentation, and framing issues around shared values. Their "changing health" story and reframing the ocean as the planet's body or climate's heart are presented as promising communication approaches.
This document summarizes trends affecting charities and nonprofit organizations. It discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic may accelerate changes to flexible working arrangements. Younger generations are having different views of charities that organizations need to understand. While Brexit continues to impact politics, charities must work to build relationships with new MPs and consider how to engage Conservative voters. Mental health and environmental issues are rising up public and political agendas. Charities are experimenting with pop-up events and spoken word audio to engage new audiences.

It will feature 20 supporter-generated videos sharing stories of how sight loss has affected people's lives.
