PRESENTING: BUILDING THE RIGHT BIG DATA AND ANALYTICS TEAM FOR THE BIG IMPACT - 9 MAR 2016, 02:45
Charles has been pioneering Big Data journeys in the enterprise world for many years, not only being instrumental in massive Big Data initiatives to revolutionize supply demand chains in Finance and the Oil & Gas industries, but more importantly, his evangelism and community work has earned him one of the UK’s 50 Top Data Leaders and Influencers.
In this talk, Charles shares best practices in strategizing from ground zero, in involving the CFO/CIO early, in gaining buy-in and in new ways of developing in-house and “virtual” Big Data and Data Science teams. Such disciplines are very transferable and there’s a huge market shortage for these in the foreseeable future.
By now, most industries have realized that the right data science team can turn silos of diverse data into game-changing business insights. The next stage is working out how to piece together the perfect combination of technical skills and personality traits which isn’t easy.
This session will cover:
* How to define an enterprise-wide Big Data/Data science maturity model
* Assessing the characteristics and skills of winning big data teams
* Fostering the right culture to integrate new data science strategies and practices into your existing organisational structure
* Highlighting proven big impacts on a few vertical industries using real examples of data strategy to win big on the bottom line
