Ante el riesgo de simplificar en exceso, considero que la Inteligencia Artificial (IA) es lo que se vuelve posible después que se ha adoptado totalmente el uso de la analítica y es posible tener mayor audacia sobre cómo utilizarlo para tomar mejores decisiones. Sus modelos mejoran, sus predicciones son más
L’intelligence artificielle, dont les prémices remontent aux années 1950, se concrétise déjà depuis une dizaine d’années dans le secteur de la santé. Les applications de l’IA dans les hôpitaux apportent de nombreux bénéfices aux patients, équipes médicales et établissements de santé. Jean-François Gourdin, responsable du secteur santé chez SAS, épidémiologiste
Auf Twitter bin ich auf den schönen Satz gestoßen, formuliert von Kerem Tomak von der Commerzbank: „When you talk about machine learning and AI you have to talk about the usage of cloud! It´s key enabler of Advanced Analytics and AI. It further means business agility and cost efficiency for
What is that makes some innovations "stick" and others disappear into the ether, never to be seen again? In a high-technology industry, it is tempting to say that the technology simply wasn’t right, or the timing was wrong. However, history suggests that this is probably not the case. Much of the
Artificial intelligence (AI) offers many opportunities for innovation. It already allows us to improve traffic flows, safely manage large crowds of people at events, analyze automated MRI scans for particular diseases and disorders, and check the effectiveness of treatment. However, new privacy legislation – such as the European General Data
“We have a data lake. Nowadays, who needs a data warehouse too? That’s totally antiquated. It’s an obsolete model.” I often hear this kind of sentiment in my consulting work with clients. Dynamic analytics and digitisation teams face what they see as antiquated systems that are in urgent need of
The Economist magazine takes pride in its ability to provoke deeper thinking. One of its campaigns was to ask people to taste weird-looking foods, such as smoothies made from “ugly” produce that had been rejected by supermarkets. The idea was to stimulate participants to reassess what was important to them.
Incontrare Roberto Verganti in occasione di Analytics Experience 2018 è stata una grande emozione. E' un enorme piacere ascoltare dal vivo questo professore del Politecnico di Milano, che dal palco trasmette la stessa energia che ritroviamo nei suoi libri. Ho sentito parlare per la prima volta di lui nel 2010 quando
Listening to Roberto Verganti at Analytics Experience 2018 was a great experience. It is an enormous pleasure to watch this professor from Milan Polytechnic, who transmits the same energy in person that he puts into his books. I first came across him in 2010, when thanks to SAS, I took
The insurance industry is one of the late starters in terms of digitisation, even in customer service, where digital networking has literally been imposed. This is largely the result of company size and the associated deadlocked structures, plus legacy systems and processes. These make it difficult to react spontaneously to
One would expect analytics in government to be a hot topic at a SAS government event. What the crowd didn't see coming was Margaret Weichert, Acting Director of the US Office of Personnel Management and Deputy Director for Management at the Office of Management and Budget, touting her ability to
Ever since I was a child, I have loved the Warner Bros. cartoons featuring Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote. I was fascinated by their different characters, and how they interacted, and the way that the storylines were both the same and different. Of course, some
In my previous blog post I have described the tension between privacy and innovation. In this post I will discuss how to deal with this and transform challenges into opportunities. The ingredients of privacy-friendly innovation Having rules and ways to enforce those rules is key. What else do we need to innovate
It’s a race - on one side: fast moving technologies, new business practices, new digital behaviours, the democratisation of analytics and the massive adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies. On the other side: the fundamental right of individuals to protect their privacy. On one side: what we
In the Cologne district of Mülheim, not far from Keupstrasse with its oriental charm of doner restaurants, baklava, cafés and mosques, and next to old brick halls, concert halls and television studios, lies Carlswerk, a large former industrial area that has been transformed by the arrival of both new and
Twelve years ago, in 2006, Time magazine made an interesting move in deciding on its “Person of the Year.” Instead of one of the many eminent scientists, world leaders, or stars of stage and screen who had influenced the world that year, Time chose to recognise a social phenomenon. It
The SAS® Global Forum Technology Connection isn’t just an opportunity to show off what SAS has been working on. It’s a chance to meet the people behind SAS® technology, see the results of their relentless curiosity, and understand how the world is transformed by it. Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer and
SAS has never been able to sit idle and watch from the sidelines as crises ensue. Why? Because we know that good can be made possible if data is put to work. SAS Global Forum opening session spotlighted four real-life examples of how SAS is showing up and improving the
Bright lights, a packed house, loud music and high energy – these are the elements that come to life every year in the SAS Global Forum opening session. But it’s not just about the entertainment and energy. Each year, the Sunday night opening session sets the stage for conference attendees.
Imaginar que a través de un comando de voz pudiera analizar escenarios de negocio y predecir rendimientos, o tomar cualquier acción de negocio, ya no son ideas futuristas e irreales. El hecho de que, en los últimos dos años, los ejecutivos de las 500 empresas de Fortune tengan inquietud sobre
Innovation labs were once hailed as the way in which established companies could “build in” innovation and ensure that it happened. For a while it was almost the default approach. However, in the last few years, several of these high-profile innovation labs have been shut down. It’s clear that not
Quando ero un bambino e mio padre comprava il giornale settimanale di enigmistica, lo aprivo subito a pagina 8, dove sapevo che avrei trovato un gioco che avrebbe stimolato, seppur brevemente, la mia curiosità e immaginazione: la Pista Cifrata, o “unite i punti”. Prima di iniziare a unire i punti
Enochlophobia. It means “fear of crowds,” and I have it. I wouldn’t be caught dead anywhere near Times Square on New Years’ Eve, and how did I ever endure the stadium-sized rock concerts of my youth? I’m thinking all this as I navigate the sea of people at the National
July 16, 1950, Rio de Janeiro. Jules Rimet, the creator of the soccer world championship, walks through a long dark subway that runs under one of the most famous soccer fields in the world, loaded with poetry, energy and the magic of football: the Maracanà. Above his head, he can
Regular readers will be aware that in my last post, I made the case for a win-win approach for mature organisations to successfully deliver digital transformation. I think there are many ways we could explain this. Established organisations infrastructure may be old, or their work processes may be complex and
Exnovation – wissen Sie was das ist? Das ist das Gegenteil von Innovation. Nein, das wollen wir nicht haben. Wir wollen Innovationen, und die bitte am laufenden Band. Koste es, was es wolle. Gerade im Zeitalter der Digitalisierung. Innovation ist irgendwie zum Zwang geworden. Denn wer sich nicht innerhalb kürzester
Innovation and transformation of established companies needs to be through a collaborative model. Done right, it can be profitable for all players. I have always thought that human evolution and development is one of the most interesting and challenging processes in the world, especially in terms of innovation and investing.
Esiste una teoria filosofica molto profonda che viene definita "la legge del decimo uomo”, secondo la quale, quando dieci persone affrontano un fenomeno o una situazione, nove affermano la stessa cosa. È compito del decimo uomo investigare su quel fenomeno, col presupposto che gli altri nove siano in errore. In
How is it that some companies can come up with a big idea and implement that idea successfully in the market, while others never get past the idea phase? "In the case of innovation," says Jill Dyché, VP of SAS Best Practices, "big ideas aren't enough." It's also not enough
For many industries, big data analytics have opened numerous doors for more employees to be groundbreaking and to challenge the corporate status quo. Prior to big data technologies, risk taking behaviors were primarily reserved for provocative souls who stretched organizational boundaries to disrupt industries, such as airline revenue management. There were winners and losers
