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.
