Had a blast at the Big Data Conference at Enderun College yesterday. Lots of things to discuss in upcoming blogs, but here are a few takeaways that I notated.
There is a strong hunger for a national umbrella organization for analytics, big data and data science.
Engagement at the C-Level of Filipino companies outside the IT-BPO sector to eliminate the biggest adoption roadblock.
Restart of the Government, Industry and Academia collaboration on analytics needs to happen.
More hands on experiential learning for both students and faculty involving the industry.
Both traditional training and certification models as well as mentoring and self-guided training opportunities.
The speed and consistency of the internet is a huge threat.
Advocacy for fixing culture before spending on costly technology and high priced talent.
Conversion of up to 70% of Customer Facing BPO Workers to doing analytics and data science as a hedge against automation and political decisions.
Im convinced that a lot of good can come out of the conference as the analytics and data science industry is at about the same point the call center industry was 10 years ago.
However, given the global demand for data savvy talent and the exponential proliferation of data, we need todo in 3-5 years what the BPO industry did in 10.
More to come!
