Across industries, there’s a focus on getting business value from data, but too often — enterprises start with analytics before addressing the challenges of data unification across data silos.

Without first addressing issues such as schema integration, data cleaning, transformations, and deduplication, analytics projects typically fall short of the transformational outcomes they were designed to achieve.

In this webcast, 2015 Turing Award winner Dr. Michael Stonebraker draws from real life use cases with Fortune 100 companies who are saving tens of millions of dollars by taking a “data first” approach, which involves unifying data across silos, and then applying analytics to a richer set of data.

When we begin by unifying data, rather than trying to ask questions of partial or dirty data, truly transformational analytics become possible.

Learn:

• Practical strategies for obtaining business value from data
• Common reasons why many of these data strategies fail
• Why the most impactful analytics strategies cross internal data silos
• How starting with data, and not analytics, improves success

Presenter:  Dr. Michael Stonebraker (LinkedIn profile) Cofounder – VoltDB winner of the 2015 Turing Award is the author of scores of research papers on database technology, operating systems and the architecture of system software services. Awarded the ACM System Software Award in 1992, for his work on Ingres, he was also awarded the 1st Innovation award by ACM SIGMOD, and was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1997. Awarded the IEEE John Von Neumann award in 2005; he is presently Adjunct Professor of Computer Science at MIT.  Michael was the main architect of the Ingres relational DBMS, and the object-relational DBMS PostgreSQ. At MIT he was a co-architect of the Aurora Borealis stream processing engine (StreamBase), the C-Store column-oriented DBMS (Vertica), and the H-Store transaction processing engine (commercialized as VoltDB). Currently, Michael is working on science-oriented DBMSs and search engines for accessing the deep web and  is the co-founder of six venture capital-backed start-ups.

Do you feel comfortable with discussing your failure?

Generally NOT. It is an illusion.

Often “failure” is taken negatively and considered a weakness when in fact it means you are producing, you are growing and Insights come with it.

You kill creativity and innovation by not allowing yourself – and your team – to fail and possibly remain in a rut with no improvement.

The challenge is that failure might be a great teacher, but it is also a cryptic one. Figuring out its lessons is no easy task, especially when we’re still nursing a bruised ego and swimming in frustration, disappointment, and demoralization. Not to mention the occasional embarrassment, resentment, and hopelessness.

In order to learn from our failures, we need a way to decode the “teachable moments” hidden within them.

We need a method for deducing what exactly those lessons are and how they can improve our chances of growth and future success.

The learning session will provide the following;

1. Create a mindset to deal with failure
2. How to learn from a failure
3. Working out a methodology
4. Failure – respect the teacher

Aslam Mirza (LinkedIn profile) as President of Integrated Management Services he helps Organizational Transformation, building capacity to enhance Organizational competence for advancement in strategic direction, effective governance & control.
