Idiots guide to setting up a data science teamAshish Bansal
Some nuggets of how I started the data science practice at Gale Partners on a budget. Presented at the Toronto Hadoop Users Group (THUG) in April, 2015.
Future of data science as a professionJose Quesada
How can you thrive in a future where machine learning has been popular for a few years already?
In this talk, I will give you actionable advice from my experience training serious data scientists at our retreat center in Berlin. You are going to face these pointy, hard questions:
- What is the promise of machine learning? Has it happened yet?
- Is it easy to take advance of machine learning, now that most algorithms are nicely packaged in APIs and libraries?
- How much time should I spend getting good at machine learning? Am I good enough now?
- Are data scientists going to be replaced by algorithms? Are we all?
- Is it easy to hire talent in machine learning after the explosion of MOOCs?
Big data & data science challenges and opportunitiesJose Quesada
Even when most companies see the advantages of using more data in their decisions, few actually do. Why is that? A few ideas on challenges and opportunities for (middle-size) companies. Talk audience was an engineering association, where most people represented engineering-centric companies in Germany (often in manufacturing).
How to Build a Successful Data Team - Florian Douetteau (@Dataiku) Dataiku
As you walk into your office on Monday morning, before you've even had a chance to grab a cup of coffee, your CEO asks to see you. He's worried: both customer churn and fraudulent transactions have increased over the past 6 months. As Data Manager, you have 6 months to solve this problem.
As Data Manager, you know the challenges ahead:
- Multitudes of technology choices to make
- Building a team and solving the skill-set disconnect
- Data can be deceiving...
- Figuring out what the successful data product must be
Florian works in the “data” field since 01’, back when it was not yet big. He worked in successful startups in search engine, advertising, and gaming industries, holding various data or CTO roles. He started Dataiku in 2013, his first venture as a CEO, with the goal of alleviating the daily pains encountered by data teams all around.
Advances in technology for capturing information have led to the promise of “Big Data” to dramatically alter the business environment. However, technology is only an enabler of aggregation and analysis. Many firms struggle to convert information to business knowledge and insights. Learn how organizations are using data to improve skill development at all levels and developing models for organizational structures to link these skills to executive decision-making.
Speakers: Dan McGurrin, Ph.D., NC State and Pamela Webber, Cisco

Architecting a Data Platform For Enterprise Use (Strata NY 2018)mark madsen
Building a data lake involves more than installing Hadoop or putting data into AWS. The goal in most organizations is to build multi-use data infrastructure that is not subject to past constraints. This tutorial covers design assumptions, design principles, and how to approach the architecture and planning for multi-use data infrastructure in IT.

The goal in most organizations is to build multi-use data infrastructure that is not subject to past constraints. This session will discuss hidden design assumptions, review design principles to apply when building multi-use data infrastructure, and provide a reference architecture to use as you work to unify your analytics infrastructure.
The focus in our market has been on acquiring technology, and that ignores the more important part: the larger IT landscape within which this technology lives and the data architecture that lies at its core. If one expects longevity from a platform then it should be a designed rather than accidental architecture.
Architecture is more than just software. It starts from use and includes the data, technology, methods of building and maintaining, and organization of people. What are the design principles that lead to good design and a functional data architecture? What are the assumptions that limit older approaches? How can one integrate with, migrate from or modernize an existing data environment? How will this affect an organization's data management practices? This tutorial will help you answer these questions.
Topics covered:
* A brief history of data infrastructure and past design assumptions
* Categories of data and data use in organizations
* Data architecture
* Functional architecture
* Technology planning assumptions and guidance

How to understand trends in the data & software marketmark madsen
The big challenge most analytics and IT professionals face today is dealing with complexity. Trends are still not clear. It helps to look at the past and current state to understand what’s really happening in the data technology market – a whole lot of reinvention and some innovation, but not where you expect it.
We have the (well-understood) problems that we have, with their (well-understood) limitations and intractabilities.
We deal with them in the world in which they were first codified and framed. Paradigms (world views) change as a function of political, economic, technological, cultural, use and growth, however, and when the world changes we’ll have a criteria for framing not just the problems/shortcomings/intractabilities of the prior paradigm, but that paradigm itself.
At that point, however, it will have ceased to matter because we’ll be dealing with fundamentally new problems/shortcomings/intractabilities.
Solve User Problems: Data Architecture for Humansmark madsen
We are bombarded with stories of the latest products to hit the market – products that will change everything we do. This causes us to focus on the latest technology, building IT for the sake of building IT. Meanwhile, the world still seems to run on Excel.
The “big innovators” who have and use unimaginably large amounts of data are not the norm. Aspiring to use the same complex technologies and patterns they do leads to poor investments and tradeoffs. This is an age-old problem rooted in the over-emphasis of technology as the agent of change. Technology isn’t the answer – it’s the platform on which people build answers.
To emphasize technology is to ignore the way tools change people and practices. The design focus in our market was on storing and making data accessible. If we want to make progress then we need to step back from the details and look at data from the perspective of the organization. Our design focus shifts to people learning and applying new insights, asking questions about how an organization can be more resilient, more efficient, or faster to sense and respond to changing conditions.
In this talk you will learn how to put your data architecture into a human frame of reference. Drawing inspiration from the history of technology and urban planning, we will see that the services provided by the things we build are what drive success, not the latest shiny distraction.
These are the slides from the Gramener webinar conducted on 16-Jan-2020.
- What skills & roles will help you deliver your analytics and data visualization projects?
- What skills do most teams miss to hire for?
In a Gartner survey, CIOs reported 'team skills' as their biggest barrier ⚠️ to data science. They have trouble deciding the skill mix ⚗️needed or in finding the right people for the job.
This webinar will show the skills and roles you must plan for. You will learn how to tailor this based on your organization's data maturity. It will help you decide whether to upskill teams or hire externally. The session will show you how and where to find talent.
Throughout the webinar you will learn:
- Critical skills & roles needed in your data science team?
- Tips for data science hiring. What aspirants should know about the jobs?
- Insights presented using real-world examples

An AI Maturity Roadmap for Becoming a Data-Driven OrganizationDavid Solomon
The initial version of a maturity roadmap to help guide businesses when adopting AI technology into their workflow. IBM Watson Studio is referenced as an example of technology that can help in accelerating the adoption process.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain - the unseen work behind data ...mark madsen
Goal: explain the nature of the work of an analytics team to a manager, and enable people on those teams to explain what a data science team needs to a manager.
It seems as if every organization wants to enable analytical-decision making and embed analytics into operational processes. What can you do with analytics? It looks like anything is possible. What can you really do? Probably a lot less than you expect. Why is this? Vendors promise easy-to-use analytics tools and services but they rarely deliver. The products may be easy but the work is still hard.
Using analytics to solve problems depends on many factors beyond the math: people, processes, the skills of the analyst, the technology used, the data. Technology is the easy part. Figuring out what to do and how to do it is a lot harder. Despite this, fancy new tools get all the attention and budget.
People and data are the truly hard parts. People, because many believe that data is absolute rather than relative, and that analytic models produce an answer rather than a range of answers with varying degrees of truth, accuracy and applicability. Data, because managing data for analytics is a nuanced, detail-oriented and seemingly dull task left to back-office IT.
If your goal is to build a repeatable analytics capability rather than a one-off analytics project then you will need to address the parts that are rarely mentioned. This talk will explain some of the unseen and little-discussed aspects involved when building and deploying analytics.
Data Architecture: OMG It’s Made of Peoplemark madsen
Do you have data? Do you have users? Do they use that data to solve problems? Then you have a data architecture. Maybe your architecture is organic and accidental, or maybe it’s an accumulation of the latest practices and technologies you heard about on Stack Overflow.
Spoiler: data architecture is about people and how they use data, not the latest pipeline framework or AI model. Data architecture is about enabling users to be productive, not adding the next “shiny object” and then blaming the users for using it wrong. What you design needs to focus on a different subject than either technology or data.
Join Kevin Bogusch, Ecosystem Architect, as he talks with Mark Madsen, Fellow at the Technology Innovation Office, on the crucial elements you’re missing in a successful data architecture: people and process. Find out why Mark says, “don’t buy one problem to solve another problem.”
Knowledge Graphs for a Connected World - AI, Deep & Machine Learning MeetupBenjamin Nussbaum
We live in an era where the world is more connected than ever before and the trajectory is such that data relationships will only continue to increase with no signs of slowing down. Connected data is the key to your business succeeding and growing in today’s connected world. Leading enterprises will be the ones that utilize relationship-centric technologies to leverage connections from their internal operations and supply chain to their customer and user interactions. This ability to utilize connected data to understand all the nuanced relationships within their organization will propel them forward as they act on more holistic insights.
Every organization needs a knowledge graph because connected data is an essential foundation to advancing business. Additional reading on connected can be found here: https://www.graphgrid.com/why-connected-data-is-more-useful/

The Heart of Data Modeling: 7 Ways Your Agile Project is Managing Data WrongDATAVERSITY
Is your organization using agile approaches to systems development project? Have you found that there are conflicting opinions with what should be done, when it should be done and who should do it? Is there even a suggestion that data modeling isn’t needed on an Agile project? Are your data architects stuck in a waterfall world? Are you asking for “no more changes” to the data model? Do your developers thing that “just the right documentation” means no modeling allowed? Does anyone even know where the reference data for the application is located? Or how it is updated?
In this month’s webinar, Karen will show you how data modeling and Agile approaches CAN work together to deliver quality information systems and solutions, with fewer dysfunctions and less tears.

Fundamentals on how to start a data science initiatives and build the team that will get you there.
Not only should you think about why are you are starting a new project, its ROI, its impact to the business' bottomline but the people you'll need to get you there. You must build and grow your team's capabilities and have a strategy for the inevitable turnover of your team. Here are some takeaways on how you can continue to develop and support your projects.
Location Intelligence Goes Big in Digital MarketingAnnie Flippo
The dawn of digital marketing began with search ads, then proceeded to social ads and now has evolved to include geospatial ads. Location Intelligence is the discipline that analyzes the petabytes of location data generated daily by mobile devices to extract meaningful and actionable consumer insights.
Predicting customer intent is an age-old problem. With more than 80% of sales still occurring in brick and mortar stores, it is important to understand the customer intent. Currently, many marketers such as Facebook and Snapchat are using location data to calculate ROI and lift of in-store visits for their ads. In this session, I will discuss ways to advance our understanding of store visitors using location intelligence: who they are and what they do in the physical world.
