Big Data Strategies For Agile Business

Agile has transcended software development and now plays a major role in processes associated with the business. Agile business is the goal – and a strategic approach to Big Data can help a long way in achieving that goal. This is so because Big Data encompasses structured and un-structured data containing significant amount of Business Intelligence. When tapped properly, this intelligence enables decision makers to set new products and services, respond to individual customer issues and rapidly change the business processes. Going beyond the technologies of Hadoop / MapReduce, Big Data strategies directly impact the Agility of business. The decision makers need to see the correlation between Big Data (and its Analytics) and making the Business ‘Agile’ as a result of those analytics. Furthermore, the analytics themselves are no longer static; they are themselves changing depending on the circumstances of an individual customer and/or the context in which the business finds itself (e.g. political uncertainty, changing legal structure, global collaborations). This brings in Agility for the analytic processes themselves. There is thus a lot of ground to be covered between Big Data and Agile business. This seminar will outline Agile Business and how to develop a strategy around Big Data to achieve that agility. Based on The Art of Agile Practice (CRC Press, 2013), this seminar will outline the concepts of such a strategy and its application in practice. Specific topics covered in this seminar are as follows:
