Improving Decision-Making With Expanded Data Sources
Learn not just upon raw data quality & data management, but the acquisition, screening, packaging, and presentation of information for decision-making. In particular, getting executive decision-makers to understand what threats are lurking outside their immediate cognition or “bubble”. We consider three kinds of “cognitive horizons”—spatial-geographic, cultural and economic, and (interestingly) time itself.
The concept of situation awareness is related to getting the “big picture” of reality, which involves seeking and using more data from external sources not previously known of. Three kinds of “situational awareness” are discussed in parallel—personal, enterprise, and nation-state. We will look at how the intelligence community of a nation-state looks beyond its borders (and oceans) to understand the emerging threats to its interests at home and abroad.
Similarly, executives (and their knowledge-workers) need to cultivate new sources of information and insights about the market, and changes in the culture and economy which may affect their success or survival. The best information can be ignored; great examples in recent American history. We discuss the rapid rate of change in cultural and economic forces. E.g. 40 years ago, nobody imagined how cheap solar panels could be in creating electricity.

Data Analytics, Information and Knowledge
There is a difference between information and knowledge. Knowledge is the information that helps us act better. In our life or business, we usually have access to a lot of information, but we sometimes struggle to convert them into knowledge. The discipline of data analytics guides us in converting information into patterns and insights in the current world.
This workshop aims to demonstrate how some basic data analytics skills help us make better decisions in our business and life. In this session, we will first play a business simulation game. Then we will apply some fundamental data analytics concepts and techniques to learn how we can perform better. Lastly, we will apply our strategies to be better at the simulation game.

Six Sigma for Batch Processes
Batch processing is useful when user interaction isn’t required at each individual step. However, batch processes run less often and pack more variables into each step, which makes statistical tools harder to use, and requires investigators to rely on a combination of methods and skills to identify root causes.
This presentation will give a case study on the application of Six Sigma to an industrial batch process where Statistical Process Control alone would not have illuminated the root cause of quality failures.

Obtaining Accurate and Compelling Data: Challenges and Importance
The purpose of this presentation is to discuss and highlight issues that lead to variability during the process of collecting, determining suitability, storing, updating and analysis of data for decision-making purposes.
Regardless if data is collected from operations, real-time feeds, or from computer-based / database warehousing, data often has further multi-faceted uses beyond the primary purposes of the original researcher, investigator, or analyst. Consequently, this presentation posits that a user’s knowledge of data accuracy from secondary data is likely not commensurate with its importance in terms of subsequent analysis and down-stream decisions resulting from secondary data set(s).
