COVID-19 and digital innovation, combined with geopolitical and financial crises, have accelerated history into a world where disruption is the new normal. From now on, whatever new normal you finally figure out will soon be swept away by the waves of the future. Instead of optimally designing their businesses, leaders must position their enterprises to catch the waves, navigate those waves when they break, use insight into how the waves will advance and harness the power of those waves to achieve true progress.

Jim Tompkins will be sharing his perspectives and points of view on how to lead in challenging times, surf the waves to organizational excellence.

Data Sciences 101: The Science Behind Data Sciences

11 a.m. ET Nov. 9
Presenter: Edd Biddle, UKI technical principle, IBM Expert Labs

This webinar focuses on how best to approach data science projects by performing a deep dive into a well established methodology called CRISP-DM (Cross Industry Standard Process for Data Mining). Attendees will learn the importance of business understanding, data understanding and data preparation. Get these tasks right and the rest of the process of modelling, evaluation and deployment are much more likely to be successful. Fast track or skip them, the follow-on tasks will lack focus and failure will be more likely.

The lecture will then look at the different data science models available and provide some guidance over how to select the most appropriate model, how to tune and how to optimize. Finally, the lecture looks at model evaluation and deployment considerations.
