Overview
With an ever-growing capacity to generate, collect and store data, many companies are wondering what to do with it all. The era of sampling and basic industrial statistics is giving way to the era of big data. But don't get intimated by the word “big.” It's not nearly as daunting as it seems.
What we really need to focus on is simply making more and better use of our data through improved analytics.
During this webinar, BMGI CEO David Silverstein and Chief Data Scientist Riaan Brits will discuss trends in data analytics and the dearth of data scientists, as well as managers who know how to maximize the value of their analysts. They'll offer examples of the kinds of things being done in the world of analytics today. And, finally, the main focus of this webinar is strategies for advancing your company's analytics capabilities without monster size investment in people or technology.
Agenda topics:
- How to get started with big data and analytics without being overwhelmed
- The difference between today's data analytics and statistical techniques used in the past
- How to build internal data analytics capability fast
- How to organize your data analytics team
- How business people with little analytics experience themselves can lead today's data analysts
Who should attend
- Presidents and COOs
- Vice presidents
- Plant managers
- Operations and quality leaders who are responsible for improvement efforts and need to understand data
