Abstract
Transformational business initiatives, especially those associated with scientific data and operations, must be built upon the solid foundation of a comprehensive data strategy. The promises of big data, predictive analytics, in-silico modelling, and quality by design are all wholly dependent upon data strategy.
As practitioners of scientific informatics, we must remember that what we do is “first and foremost, a human endeavour.” Business benefit can only be derived from IT investments if data can be readily found, aggregated, interpreted in context, and extracted in an actionable format. Common oversights like the failure to establish a consistent data taxonomy, inattention to systems architecture, or absence of a culture that treats data as a corporate asset are often the difference between the success and failure of mission-critical IT programs.
The speaker will share insights and best practices regarding how to realize the promise of your scientific informatics investments.
