Big Data is used in every situation, but the path from vision to value is neither quick nor cheap. The journey is fraught with danger and other difficulties. In addition to these risks, the reality is that the story is about the use of Big Data for decision-making insights rather than big data itself. The use of Big Data necessitates both high-tech and high-touch elements.
Technologies, technical software, technical professionals, and other technical/scientific elements are examples of high-tech elements. Human decision-making, human responses to Artificial Intelligence [AI] possibilities, human responses to automation possibilities, human responses to machine learning possibilities, and human responses to business and social changes to the organization and society are examples of high-touch aspects. In other words, BIG DATA changes everything and is not just a catchy phrase.
This training course demonstrates by example how to think about governance, management, and Big Data use. Delegates should be interested in the realities of Big Data and understand its transformative potential, but they do not need to be experts in specific tools.
This BIG DATA Governance training course provides an overview and synthesis of how Big Data should be governed, managed, and used to make decisions.
This training course aims to provide those involved in decision-making at all levels with the perspective needed to consider the resource allocation process for Big Data governance, management, and uses.
To alert delegates to the transformational aspects of the term Big Data is not about data but rather about decision-making
To show delegates several demonstrations of current tools and use cases
To provide delegates with perspectives on the risks and challenges of Big Data
To give delegates the ability to recognize that some data are Bad Data, some data are Better Data, and some data are Best Data
To give delegates perspectives on the Big Data implementation process
To provide a clear understanding of why Big Data cannot be avoided regardless of the definition
This training course employs an example-based approach with various cases and materials that encourage delegates to discuss their experiences and expectations.
This training course focuses on recognizing the results of the term Big Data and applying Big Data to decision-making.
Delegates will spend some time in discussions and some time exploring the hands-on aspects of selected tools.
For demonstration purposes, some technological tools will be used in this training.
The hands-on aspects necessitate a basic understanding of EXCEL. Advanced knowledge of EXCEL, Power Pivot, Power Map, and Power BI is also beneficial. Other tools, such as Tableau, will be demonstrated as well.
Organizations that can understand the journey of Big Data are better able to make resource allocation decisions for Big Data projects and to make better use of Big Data in decision-making.
