Title: Operationalizing Data Science

Abstract

Over the last few years there has been a surge in exploring how to leverage on data analytics/business analytics/data science to bring value to organization in three areas: 1. Increasing Revenue 2. Improving Efficiency and 3. Non-compliance detection/predictions. However, how does Machine Learning become Business Analytics/Data Science? What are the other aspects that one’s needs to consider to achieve successful application? In this session we discuss the considerations of the shift and the value that can be ultimately derived through the operationalization of data.
