Learning Session Description

Building The Data Value Chain. Data is pervasive – everything we do in the modern world uses and generates data in some shape or form: from web sites we surf, the social media we consume, to the mobile devices we use to connect and communicate. Modern businesses also use and generate data, from financial data, to customer data, to transaction data and sensor data.

But data is only a raw material. Regardless of amount, the real importance of data is only determined by the value people and businesses derive from it. Getting data is the first step. Then the challenge becomes transforming the raw material into a processed good: information. Information enables decisions, and decisions create value.

This session is about the basics of transforming data into information: the data value chain. Attendees will learn how to identify the right data, about how data can be efficiently stored, then transformed into a friendly form for analysis, and finally how data analysis can yield insights.

Philippine BPO’s urged to prepare for Artificial Intelligence

Sharing from the Global Chamber® Manila Newsletter

April 7, 2017

Philippine BPO’s urged to prepare for Artificial Intelligence

An American technology and business expert urges Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) companies to prepare for the disruption that will be brought about by artificial intelligence (AI). The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) recently held a talk about how to prepare for the time when intelligent computers take over call center agents’ jobs.

Dr. Ted Ladd, who is on a lecture tour of the Philippines, says the technology for artificial intelligence is already here. While some experts say AI’s impact on BPO’s will be felt in five years, Ladd says BPO’s and entrepreneurs should already be preparing for this and start looking for new opportunities that will be opened up by AI. According to Ladd, “We don’t have to wait for the industry to show cracks before entrepreneurs prepare new solutions.“  AI is not just going to create new products or services but will create new business models which entrepreneurs could take advantage of.

DMAIPH is working on a new learning session offering entitled Surfing Into The Storm; A Guidebook on How to Turn Your Call Center into an Analytics Hub. Stay tuned for more info on the upcoming course.

Decision-Making with Data Learning Session with Ariva Events

This coming Friday, March 31, in Ortigas, I will be Data-Driven Decision-Making for Executives, Managers and Leaders. I will focus on proven strategies of data mastery go a long way to becoming a Data-Driven Leader.

This master class  is for you if you feel like you’re drowning in data and unsure which data to use to drive your companies decision-making processes.

Information is supposed to make decision-making faster and easier, but more often than not, it simply overwhelms our ability to accurately use the data we have in our business.

The truth is that the amount of data available to help run your business is greater than ever before. To effectively use this information, exeuctives, managers and leaders must consider the practical side of big data and how best to use it to make better decisions…because what matters to you is how do you grow and build a team to make smarter decisions. Much of the information out there just discusses the promise of the data deluge.

The challenge is not the volume of data but rather the judgment needed to use it. This learning session  is specifically designed for executives, managers and leaders to learn techniqeues that will ensure reliable business decisions can be made based on the massive amounts of data at your fingertips.

Through a series of case studies, exercises and interactive lecture, we will cover the following:

  • Specific skills to effectively frame the problem you’re addressing to uncover key opportunities and drive growth
  • Critical marketing steps of orientation necessary before engaging tools and technology
  • How to simply and quickly amplify decision making by separating the signal from the noise
  • A framework for asking the right questions, allowing the ability to link analytics to business strategy

Attendees will also be able to learn how to do the following things for their team:

  • Learn the best practices for organizing, summarizing, and interpreting quantitative data
  • Create a repeatable process for analyzing your data
  • Bring out patterns in data that were not apparent at first glance
  • Identify and explain tools for data analysis
  • Shorten the time between analysis and action to avoid “analysis paralysis”
  • Know how to get from hard data to well-reasoned conclusions

There are still seats available, contact me at danmeyer@dmaiph.com so I can connect with you my events partner, Ariva.

Working On A New Course > HR Predictive Analytics

HR Predictive Analytics enable HR to forecast the impact of people policies on the well-being, happiness and bottom line performance of candidates, employees and business partners.

Predictive analytics are a quickening trend in Human Resources.

Even though a lot of people talk about predictive analytics in HR, hardly any organizations are really able to tie success in HR with success to the bottom line.

In fact organizations today need to be able to use predictive analytics for a wide range of functions, especially to:

  1. measure employee engagement and workforce perceptions
  2. monitor impact of business interventions
  3. predict employee performance and
  4. predict employee turnover

By applying predictive analytics to business data, HR should be able to add value as a strategic partner that relies on proven and data-driven predictive models, instead of relying on gut feeling and soft science.

According to Deloitte’s Global Human Capital Trends 2014 report, just 14 percent of HR departments are currently using data analytics.

That compares to 77 percent of operations organizations, 58 percent of sales organizations and 56 percent of marketing organizations.

Even worse, few organizations are capable of producing predictive models for HR.

According to Deloitte’s Global Human Capital Trends (2016) report, only 16% of the organizations worldwide had this capability in 2015.

I imagine the number of companies here in the Philippines successfully doing HR Predictive Analysts is even less.
