Senior leaders love to be challenged, when you prove them right!

Unfair? Yes. There are plenty of great leaders who truly want their staff to speak up. However, even some of these may suffer from measurement blindness.

When it comes to numbers and decision making there are three positions people take.

Believers

These people believe measurement enhances decisions. They will ask for measurement and readily listen to the numbers being presented, they will look to see if there are any abnormalities and

The popularity and excitement around data science and its successful applications are wonderful. Data science can be termed as one of the most essential developments of the early 21st century. Data science involves understanding, extracting, and visualizing the data. It has applications to various fields that have adequate available data.

Identifying what the market wants is a critical issue for most executives.  Likewise, the decision on how much to charge for a product is also crucial for planners.  This is where Market Research comes to rescue.

One of the Marketing Research methods that researchers most commonly employ is the Conjoint (Trade-off) Analysis.  Conjoint Analysis helps in identifying product features that consumers prefer, discerning the impact of price changes on demand, and estimating the probability of product ac

Now, more than ever, there is a growing demand for the establishment of effective and efficient data centers. An important factor determining the efficiency of a data center is its power distribution units and how the servers and devices are powered in a data center.

Power distribution units are power strips that transmit and control power in a data center. While this may sound simplistic, the functionalities of the data center rack power distribution unit have evolved over the years. Not only do

Technological developments allow satellite imagery simpler and quicker to use than ever before. A growing number of companies are having their data accessible free of charge: in 2008, the United States Geological Survey made free-to-use data from its Landsat satellites, contributing to a major increase in the usage of satellite data for scientific and industrial purposes. The European Space Agency has now introduced a focus on free and transparent data for the Copernicus program.

Virtual Data Rooms, or VDRs, serve as a secure way to store information that many users need to access simultaneously. Virtual Data Rooms are commonly used by businesses when they merge, work on a project or other joint venture requiring access to shared data. VDRs are known to be more secure than digital records as there is no chance of failure during transit or accidental destruction. Normally, activities such as copying, printing, and forwarding are prohibited in VDRs.

Over the last two weeks, we have been exploring the challenges that COVID19 continues to deliver to risk managers, particularly with respect to scenario analysis construction.  We would be glad for feedback from this community on whether the content is helpful.

We have looked at the Twin Data Deficits created by emergency regulatory policies that change key policy definitions and delay regulatory reporting...and we discussed Why Data Deficits Matter. 

Spoiler alert:  data deficits matter because m

Data center infrastructure management (DCIM) started as an element of building information modeling (BIM) software, which is used by facilities managers to create digital schematic diagrams. DCIM tools bring the same functionality to data centers, allowing managers to collate, store, and analyze power and cooling related data in real-time. Most tools allow diagrams to be printed — a useful feature when a repair is required, or when new hardware has to be installed by data center administrators.
