Editor's Notes
- 0
- IBM - 105 years old
- Surviving & Thriving requires constant change.
- At our core is an unmatched history of invention / innovation
- Speed thru thoughtful acquisitions – 2 examples. Truven Health Analytics and The Weather Company
- The complete user experience is now a minimum bar.
- We needed to bring our teams together once again. We’re placing NEW labs where people want to work.
- Slide from Michael Karasick’s keynote @ our Evolving Education workshop I think it’s self explanatory
- The entire analytics workflow in a single tool: Wrangle -- Load & Refine your Data Explore – Ask Questions – Watson suggests questions too! Predict – Identify what drives behavior and why Tell Stories – Not just create graphs and pretty pictures
- Reality check: Most organizations have sizable existing investments in on-premise IT. It doesn’t make sense to throw that away and start over. In many cases you simply cannot put your data in the cloud. Hybrid cloud enables a best of both worlds strategy. Bring new tech and new skills on board only as needed when needed.
- Not a comprehensive list… key examples http://tsummit.org What is a T-shaped professional? Currently higher education is producing I-shaped graduates, or students with deep disciplinary knowledge. T-shaped professionals are characterized by their deep disciplinary knowledge in at least one area, an understanding of systems, and their ability to function as “adaptive innovators” and cross the boundaries between disciplines. The two vertical bars of the "T" represent the disciplinary specialization and the deep understanding of one system. Systems describe major services, such as transportation, energy, education, food, and healthcare, that impact quality of life. These systems are comprised of interconnected components of people, technology, and services. To understand a system, one must know how it functions from the bottom to top in order to address challenges. The defining characteristic of the “T-shaped professional” is the horizontal stroke, which represents their ability to collaborate across a variety of different disciplines. To contribute to a creative and innovative process, one has to fully engage in a wide range of activities within a community that acknowledges their expertise in a particular craft or discipline and share information competently with those who are not experts.
