You've heard all about it, this sexy "new" job that will redefine the information management business. But what, exactly, is data science? Consider these questions:
Are you trying to reconcile multiple information systems across a disparate range of silos?
Working to find meaningful patterns in large sets of data?
Are you struggling to align data with decisions?
Outcomes with process models?
Do you care about how to best leverage information assets in a productive way for your company?
If you answered yes to any of those questions, you are playing a critical role in data science. That's because the science of data runs all the way through the very grains of information assets themselves. Each datum, every data set -- all aggregations and derivations of your data can be woven into a fabric of understanding that will help you make the most of that modern-day lifeblood: data.
Register for this inaugural episode of Data Science to hear actual Data Scientist, Dr. Geoffrey Malafsky, explain how a $300 million Naval project, a decade-old social graph, life-threatening real-world situations and bread-and-butter data management skills all play a part in defining the new world order for information systems.
Dr. Malafsky will be interviewed by DM Radio Host Eric Kavanagh, the show's emcee, and then grilled by Bloor Group CEO Dr. Robin Bloor. A rogues gallery of independent analysts will also chime in, including Kevin Moran, COO, Phasic Systems, Inc., Jerry Best, Information Technology and Services Consultant and Anand Rao, Partner, PWC.
