Welcome to the Age of Big Data

Welcome to the Age of Big Data

Data are becoming the new raw material of business THE ECONOMIST Our world is flooding with data. Disruptive technologies such as social networks, mobile devices, and the Internet of Things generate vast quantities of data data that can hold enormous value, but only if we learn to think about it and process it in ways we never have before. Rapid technological advances offer us, for the first time, the ability to mine enormous datasets and thereby discover subtle or unexpected patterns that would never be caught by traditional analysis. However, these technologies do not work on their own. Rather, we must learn how to ask the right questions and how to instruct our computational resources how to solve them. If we wish to unlock the value of Big Data, the way we think, interact, and do business must change. The sources of data in a modern business are manifold every operational component of an organization, including marketing, human resources, sales, information technology, and research, produces its own trove of data. The efficient coordination of these departments is crucial to a business s success. By deriving insights that link these disparate sources, an organization can become better coordinated in its operations and more efficient with its resources. SHORTAGE OF 140,000 TO190,000 PEOPLE WITH DEEP ANALYTICAL SKILLS Big data analytics is the process of collecting, organizing, and analyzing large sets of data to discover patterns that lead to greater understanding and betterinformed decisions. The responsibility of performing this analysis is given to a new profession: the data scientist. Data scientists require expertise in programming and advanced mathematics as well as the judgement to determine what is real and what matters to an organization. A data scientist leads a team of data professionals who work together to determine key trends in the operations of a business. Big Data is therefore the information asset of the 21st century. With proper analysis, it can lead to more insights, better decisions, and smarter processes. Big Data doesn t just allow us to see more, it allows us to see new, it allows us to see better, and it allows us to see different. There will be a shortage of talent necessary for organizations to take advantage of big data. By 2018, the United States alone could face a shortage of 140,000 to 190,000 people with deep analytical skills as well as 1.5 million managers and analysts with the know-how to use the analysis of big data to make effective decisions.

COMPUTER DOMAIN ORGANIZATION KNOWLEDGE SCIENTIST MATHEMATICS Digital Quotient is a measure of a business s digital maturity, its speed to market, growth, and above all, its adaptability to a rapidly evolving technological world. At the core of any effective digital strategy lies the data professional: an Enterprise Data Scientist. At TheCADS, all our programs are intensive boot-camps that prepare those with marked talent and potential to work as data scientists. It identifies talented individuals who already have the 90% difficult-to-learn skills and equips them with the last 10%: the tools and technology stack that make them self-sufficient, productive contributors to their organizations. Through examples, hands-on case studies, and group discussions, participants learn how organizations are using Big Data effectively in fields such as marketing, retail, government, and healthcare. The programs also guides participants to apply these concepts in the context of their own organizations (e.g. by identifying Big Data solutions, brainstorming data sources, and designing experiments to appropriately collect and analyze data) so that they can start creating new value right away.
