An Interactive 5-Day Training Course

Big Data Governance : Bad Data or Better Data or Best Data

From Vision to Value for Decision - Making Insights

Course Overview

Big Data as a term is everywhere in every situation but the journey from vision to value is neither short nor cheap. The journey is fraught with risk and other challenges. Combined with these risks is the reality that the story is not about big data but rather the use of Big Data for decision-making insights. The use of Big Data requires high tech and high touch elements

The high tech aspects include technologies, technical software, technical professionals, and other technical / scientific elements. The high touch aspects include human decision making, human responses to the Artificial Intelligence [AI] possibilities, human responses to the automation possibilities, human responses to the machine learning possibilities, and human responses to the business and social changes to the organization and to society. In other words, BIG DATA changes everything is not just a catchy phrase.

This GLOMACS Big Data Governance training course shows by example how to consider the governance, management, and use of Big Data. The delegates should be interested in the realities of Big Data and recognize the transformational aspects but need not to be experts in specific tools.
