In two previous posts (Part 1 and Part 2), I explored some of the challenges of managing data beyond enterprise boundaries. These posts focused on issues around managing and governing extra-enterprise data. Let’s focus a bit on one specific challenge now – satisfying the need for business users to rapidly ingest new data sources. Sophisticated business

Earlier this month I attended my first Forbes Healthcare Summit, where the stated goal for this year was to “figure out how to create the kind of care we know we deserve.” The event offered a unique gathering of pharmaceutical, health care and biotechnology chief executives engaged in frank discussions

Die Auswirkungen der vierten industriellen Revolution sind jetzt auch im Himmel spürbar: Das Christkind wird hysterisch. Denn es kann einfach nicht loslassen. Es kann Verantwortung nicht abgeben. Die Wichtel haben diesen seinen Zug kapiert, die Engel haben diesen seinen Zug kapiert und begegnen dem Christkind mit vorweihnachtlichem Mitgefühl. Sie holen
Over the course of my career as industrial engineer turned supply chain planning advocate I've had the opportunity to work hands-on with many manufacturing and supply chain planning solutions. This has included solutions offered commercially by the usual suspects of ERP and post-SCM consolidation supply chain solution providers. Most of these
Today, we live in a polarized world that divides family members, friends, and business colleagues. It effects everything we do from the way we communicate with one another to how we handle business challenges. I have seen long time business colleagues have passionate discussions to defend their supply chain position
Die Produktion läuft endlich an: Geschenke in hoffentlich höchster Qualität werden gefertigt. Und das Christkind blickt wohlwollend auf dies’ Gewusel seiner Lieferanten und seiner Engel. Kann das gutgehen? Ja. Denn das Christkind hat himmlische Governance. Data Governance und Qualitätsregeln. Außerdem hat es eine ganze Reihe an analytischen Tools des Vertrauens gelernt!
There’s more than one way to make a poor decision. Bad data, inappropriate assumptions and flawed logic are just three of the missteps you can take on your climb up the Ladder of Inference, a concept first developed by Chris Argyris, professor of business at Harvard, in 1974, and later popularized
La industria de seguros ha entrado en la época ilustrada y estratégica de la analítica, actualmente las aseguradoras tienen entusiasmo sobre el potencial de los grandes datos. Hace cinco años, sólo los pensadores más avanzados de la industria habían oído hablar de la importancia del Big Data, hoy el despegue
Macroeconometrics is not dead: (and I wish I had paid better attention in my time series course): I wrote this on the way to see one of our manufacturing clients in Austin, Texas, anticipating a discussion how to use vector autoregressive models in process control. It is a typical use
Heute wird rekapituliert. Heute nimmt sich das Christkind die Zeit, um Revue passieren zu lassen, was gut und was schlecht gelaufen ist. Es wird herausfinden, was sich gelohnt hat zu lernen und was es lieber wieder vergessen möchte. Auch die Engel werden befragt. Heute werden die vergangenen 12 Tage betrachtet
A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to attend the 2015 EyeforTravel Connected Traveller Conference. Based on the spelling of the word “traveller” which my American version of MS Word continuously wants to autocorrect, you can correctly assume the conference was hosted in London. During the conference, one phrase
I've seen a number of articles and webinars recently that discuss data integration as a cloud-based service. So I thought it was worth exploring what this really means in the context of big data – specifically when the objective is to exploit many sources of streaming data for analytics. My initial reaction
Journal of Business Forecasting columnist Larry Lapide is a longtime favorite of mine. As an industry analyst at AMR, and more recently as an MIT Research Affiliate, Larry's quarterly column is a perpetual source of guidance for the practicing business forecaster. No wonder he received IBF's 2012 Lifetime Achievement in
Das Christkind ist ausgesprochen zufrieden mit sich und seinen Vorbereitungen. Wir möchten vermuten, dass dem Christkind die Komplexität seiner Aufgabe (trotz zweitausendjähriger Geschichte) erst jetzt so richtig dämmert. Es hat gelernt, assoziativ zu suchen, Kommentare der Kinder zu analysieren und aus allem die richtigen Schlüsse zu ziehen. Heute verfeinert es
WRAL Chief Meteorologist (and Friend Of the Business Forecasting Deal) Greg Fishel garnered national attention recently with a thoughtful (yet to some, provocative) blog post on climate change. In the post, Fishel chronicled his evolving thought on the subject. He argued for an end to the political partisanship that stifles
Wie angekündigt traf das Christkind gestern unseren Einzelhändler. Er hielt es tatsächlich für eine außerirdische Erscheinung. Er ist ja ein Mann der Menschentat. Er ist einer, der viel von Text Analytics und Net Promoter Scores hält. Texte und deren Analyse sind die eigentliche Religion vom Einzelhändler M. Hier geht zu den Türchen
On the first day of Big Data Analytics my colleagues sent to me: A data scientist discussing a decision tree On the second day of Big Data Analytics my colleagues sent to me: Two business analysts and A data scientist discussing a decision tree On the third day of Big Data Analytics my
¿Cómo pueden las empresas dar seguimiento a un cliente con tantos canales de comunicación y dispositivos a su alcance? ¿Cómo puede capitalizar una empresa el conocimiento que ya tiene de sus clientes? ¿Cómo optimizar la relación con el cliente? ¿Cómo convertir una mejor relación en oportunidad de negocio o -aún
Data science is hot. You've undoubtedly heard a lot about the field and the role of the data scientist, now it's time to learn more. So, here are the top three reasons to become a data scientist. 1 – For the enjoyment of creating and building new “things” No, data scientists do not
Das Christkind ist unzufrieden! Bald ist Weihnachten und die Vorbereitungen laufen nur langsam an. Stress liegt in himmlischer Luft. Und wenn ein Christkind gestresst ist, müssen die Engel stramm stehen. Doch weil Engel immer eine Lösung haben, sind sie Engel. Öffnen Sie das 2. Türchen und schauen Sie hinter die
Parents, My boys are now young adults, but when I read a blogpost by Kari O'Driscoll about "What NOT to Say to a Teen Girl on Thanksgiving", I found myself remembering some very awkward moments around the dinner table from past years. Her first point, which has nothing to do
There is no doubt about it – over the past few years there has been a monumental shift in how we think about “enterprise” data management. I believe this shift has been motivated by four factors: Open data. What may have been triggered by demands for governmental transparency and the need
Times have changed. As the oil industry shutters and sheds investments that made sense during the two-year period in which oil rode comfortably above $90, the market is establishing a new equilibrium at $40/barrel. This despite the fact that the Baker Hughes domestic rig count is down 64 percent. It’s
Did you know that you can use the POLYGON statement in PROC SGPLOT to draw a map? The graph at the left shows the 48 contiguous states of the US, overlaid with markers that indicate the locations of major cities. The plot was created by using the POLYGON statement, which
.@philsimon on whether data governance is still relevant.
With a major election coming next year, I was wondering if there have been any shifts & changes in the voters in my state. This seems like an interesting opportunity for some data analysis, eh!?! To get you into the spirit of elections, here's an "I Voted" sticker from my friend
El 53% de las empresas cree que la gestión de la experiencia de cliente le proporciona una ventaja competitiva en el mercado. Estas organizaciones ya entendieron que sus clientes son su activo más importante y que sus canales digitales abren millones de posibilidades para mantenerlos contentos y satisfechos.

Having a mentor is the number one factor in increasing the steepness of your personal learning curve. So says my oldest, Garik, a Park Scholar at North Carolina State University (class of 2012), during a discussion he recently had with the incoming Park Scholar class of 2019. To accept the
By now, you’ve probably seen a video of a 3D printer discharging layers of plastic to create a model of a building or a plastic figurine. You may have heard stories about 3D printed guns, 3D printed airplane parts and even 3D printed body parts. While 3D printers are becoming more common, they are
