This year’s theme is “Big Data Made Simple”
“Data is the new Oil” is the new mantra, and for good reason! The past decade has seen an amazing transformation of business. The top 5 largest listed companies by market capitalization are all from the IT sector: Apple, Alphabet (Google), Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook. Contrast that with just five years ago when the list was dominated by energy and financial sector players.
These companies, who have now achieved global dominance, have one thing in common. They have mastery over data. The lesson: to thrive in business today, you must constantly innovate, and you must up-skill yourself and your team in understanding data through analytics.
My talk will be on “The Upskilling Challenge: Massively Scaling the Filipino Data Science & Analytics (DSA) Workforce”
Data Science and Analytics Enabled Professionals are among the most in demand workers in the Philippines today. Additionally, the projected growth for DSA workers is estimated to be over 500,000 new DSA jobs in the next 5 years. For the Philippines to meet both surging domestic demand and take advantage of the global shortage in DSA talent, we will all need to take part in a massive upskill training program. I will outline the various roles required of us in this massive undertaking to digitally transform a significant percentage of the Filipino workforce. It should lead to some interesting conversations.
