One Of The Key Differences About The AAP… Our Strong Ties to Academia.

It’s not a coincidence that the Analytics Association of the Philippines has such a strong focus on skills building and talent development.

In fact the majority of our founding board members either are currently or have in the past taught in higher education.

The reality of the current analytics landscape in the Philippines is that we need large scale initiatives to both upskill the existing workforce as well engage with the government and with academe to ensure a steady stream of analytics savvy graduates.

Some of the initiatives we have in the works include:

Upskilling training as many as 500,000 Filipinos currently working in the IT-BPO sector whose jobs are at risk do to AI
Facilitating a series of academic conferences to empower analytics educators with more tools and resources
Conducting train the trainer classes to build up the necessary number of analytics experts who can assist in both the massive upskilling and the teacher conferences
Working with a wide range of associations and organizations to offer targeted analytics training for their members
Bringing together analytics training providers, academic programs, industry leaders and government officials to unify the analytics ecosystem.

To meet the founding board members of the AAP, interact with many of the 30+ companies already working with the AAP, and to learn more about Big Data Analytics here in the Philippines, check out the following event:

DMAIPH will be at the Big Data Conference on Nov 15 – 2017 @ Enderun

http://conferences.enderunextension.com/conferences/big-data-analytics-summit-2017

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.

Global Chamber Manila: Filipino jobs threatened by Artificial Intelligence

For the past couple of weeks, digital transformation has been making headlines in the Philippines… finally!

Aquino, who chairs the Senate committee on science and technology, filed Resolution No. 344 that seeks to look into the government’s plan and initiatives to maximize the development of AI and other emerging technologies. Aquino says, “This early, we should be preparing for any eventuality that may occur when automation goes into full swing.”

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.
