because the business doesn't trust traditional IT to have the skills to deliver the value?

We need to be able to demonstrate value way faster than before. This is why we have services like Data Experience to show customer what you can do differently in the business based on the insight of your data.

And an average time to do this is 6-8 weeks and not months.

digital transformation is about making business processes more intelligent - that cannot be done without the business participation and commitment.

IT assumes they know what business wants and develops the transformation in a vacuum.

I see this a lot as well. I look forward to the prominence of experimentation + collaboration in this area

I think it's the age-old conundrum of the business-IT disconnect that's been around for decades. A big part of that problem is senior mgt has rarely seen IT as core to their business, but IT to blame too, thinking technically when need biz lens.

@AnalyticsCTO Traditional I.T needs to leave way for software innovation which should base itself on business transformation

it still comes down to the same basics... what is the toolbox and where and how do you manage the information pools. the complexity is always in the unforeseen value of information composition... where A+B=C where C becomes differentially classed

also must implement data security and data governance from the start and not as afterthought

I think that the work that @Immuta is doing on the #GDPR side provides some interesting techniques for managing the trust divide.

Immuta is doing some great things

I met the founding team at Immuta this week in NYC

@furrier -> Matt and Steve are #Rockstars

Robo Drive - self-driving car solution which includes object recognition, situation analysis, & drive strategy

@AnalyticsCTO Cool, an example of driving #AI to the edge. Along those lines, check out the latest from @xnor_ai: https://xnor.ai/

@vittalmadurai Oh man, you gotta send me a link!

AlphaGo?

or a Chatbot, bring up a #kubernetes service based on a query

Without talking about it in detail, intelligence and police are most sophisticated. Securing London Olympics couple of years ago, is a public reference.

I find some of the working being done in simultaneous linguistic translation (e.g. language learning) to be pretty amazing

Lately, I've been looking for applications of #AI to resiliency in digital systems-- an "anti-fragile" approach. Haven't found much, yet.

@DanHushon Do you see potential for increased productivity in administrative tasks?

Siri or Alexa

@ArinDey Yeah, I find those impressive as well

Actually the list would be big.. but I would like to add Tesla and Cogito as well :)

@ArinDey I'm very interested in the direction that realtime emotional intelligence might take.

I see personal assistants making huge strides, on your resiliency point, what can #AI to to identify white space in designs - things untested?

@DanHushon Good question. I'm thinking digital twin: simulation to explore a design space and find new possibilities

if you haven't moved from excel to #PowerBI run fast! right @richrebajr ?

Trying to move from PowerBI to R Studio...but would be good to have common direction

agree with Dan. Also, finding a business person with a mind set for innovation to support you and bring the solutions to business decision makers should work

Dan just beat me. And there are so many visualization test licenses, it is behavior but also story-telling. Try it out. It is so simple by now - and addictive.

Agree on the story telling....I think we can be much more powerful in the way we work....but everyone need to have some basic understanding of "insight" digging

ResearchNetwork is developing a CI Command Center on #PowerBI

Martin, any specific visualization tools in mind? Preferably not one I need to buy after a months trial :)

agree. Story-telling and visualization auguments #AI vector

Yep - Analytics is where we start in optimising our delivery http://blog.thestate...

They are already used in many areas of operations of standard DXC services. too many to enumerate here - but think of support, monitoring, change management.

long list across our OFs: security, BPS, Cloud, Apps are all implementing advanced analytics as part of their solutions. Also healthcare and insurance

For starters, here'a an example progression from #analytics to #AI: https://csccommunity...

IMO It's about building systems that integrate disparate sources, automates tasks, and leans as it goes.

And to add to Jerrys post, I like Gartner's Hype Cycle. Adv Analytics is mass adoption, Big Data was there where AI is 4 years ago. Big Data is now reality. AI just started but is coming in big steps - Faster than Big Data IMHO

sure, but also understanding our talent, our competition, our products, our service all with a continuous improvement optic - productivity!

- Hi I am a Newbie

yes, am here first time.

Thanks for joining!

Nice, welcome Steve and Axel! What do you think?

Interesting discussion but it can be confusing talking AI when AI is commonly Artificial Intelligence. @heatherswall
