Abstract

This fun, interactive, informative, and practical seminar will discuss how we can apply wisdom to traditional as well as emerging data management disciplines. For example, how can we move efficiently and effectively in traditional types of data management efforts such as data strategies, data governance, master data management, data modeling, and do the same for newer disciplines such as big data, ‘internet of things’, cognitive computing and artificial intelligence efforts.

This seminar will focus on something that is often missed and yet so critically important in these efforts – applying wisdom using specific and practical tools. What is wisdom? It is being able to see what is really happening and take actions that are in the highest interests of all. In our rapidly changing industry, how can we most effectively do this?

This seminar will address:

  • What is important for us to consider and take action upon in our existing data management programs
  • How big data, the internet of things, cognitive computing, artificial intelligence, and other newer trends have changed the enterprise landscape and what is important for us to consider and take action upon in these newer arenas
  • Various human factors that are important to address such as our underlying purpose, intentions as we evolve our industry, trust, morals/ethics, communications and conflicts.
  • Important techniques and tools that we can use to apply wisdom in our industry and to our lives
  • How to collaborate effectively in an increasingly complex world

The seminar will provide you with an extremely practical and useful toolkit to help you move forward in our industry with your purpose, while applying your true wisdom.
