IS DATA STOPPING OR DRIVING YOU FORWARD?
Although 59% of businesses have adopted big data last year, a 2019 Forbes report shows that 95% of them still need to manage unstructured data. To address this gap, businesses are making data-driven decisions that cause the roles of a marketer and banker to evolve. By the time you realise this, it may be too late for you to stay at the forefront of the role you thought you mastered.
Join us in our symposium and uncover how data is shaping the expectations and responsibilities of marketing and finance professionals. In collaboration with Massey University, New Zealand, we have invited renowned keynote speakers to share with you their insights on data science in their respective fields.

PANEL DISCUSSION: DATA IS THE NEW CURRENCY: IS YOURS VALUABLE?
According to the 2018 IMDA survey report on Infocomm Usage, more than 90% of surveyed businesses with 200 or more employees use e-payments. Many other digital solutions have also been adopted by a wide variety of industries, and now a large amount of data is consistently generated.
As there is more data generated than ever before, do we continue storing data that we do not use, at the risk of cyber security? And how do we make sense of that data to make it valuable?
Big data, data science, and data analytics are now being seriously considered by companies to turn unrefined data into powerful refined insights for better business operations and decisions, and our panel of experts will share their perspectives on how to use data a powerful and value asset in your company.
