Topic: Advanced Analytics – The next frontier for innovation and STEM jobs

The amount of information available via the Internet and social media is exploding and this trend is expected to continue. According to IBM, structured data constitutes only 20% of the overall data produced. Remaining 80% of the data is unstructured or semi structured. According to a report published by McKinsey Global Institute, there will be a shortage of talent necessary for organizations to take advantage of this data. McKinsey Global Institute predicts that by 2018, the United States alone could face a shortage of 140,000 to 190,000 workers and 1.5 million managers and analysts that need analytics expertise. This presentation will cover 1. Why is advanced analytics the hottest STEM topic? 2. What is the current status of advanced analytics? 3. What are the future perspectives of advanced analytics?
