Synopsis
How can we harness the powerful principles of intelligence to foster innovation and collaboration, especially among non-data scientists? This book outlines a practical methodology to help you learn fundamental concepts underlying the study of intelligence, including AI and human intelligence, so you can achieve goals faster.
After conducting extensive research with data scientists, business analysts, and data engineers, authors Ron Itelman and Juan Cruz Viotti learned three specific key activities: assess, analyze, and align, to augment innovation where Agile isn't meeting the specific needs of business, data, and code teams.
This guide shows how to collaborate more effectively and design intelligent systems without having to become a data scientist. Map your team, objectives, data, actions, and outcomes as a holistic network and discover connections that may not always be obvious. You'll learn how to reveal hidden root problems and explain how information flows across your organizational networks in order to innovate better, faster.
- Use an innovation and collaborative methodology grounded in principles of intelligence
- Create data schemas, data products, and data contracts, and design better data experiences
- Build a wisdom graph, which combines high-level knowledge, people, processes, objectives, and outcomes, for a focused data science approach to innovation
- Integrate your wisdom graph with ChatGPT and learn about large language model innovation opportunities
Synopsis
In the modern symphony of business, each section-from the technical to the managerial-must play in harmony. Authors Ron Itelman and Juan Cruz Viotti introduce a bold methodology to synchronize your business and technical teams, transforming them into a single, high-performing unit.
Misalignment between business and technical teams halts innovation. You'll learn how to transcend the root causes of project failure-the ambiguity, knowledge gaps, and blind spots that lead to wasted efforts.
The unifying methodology in this book will teach you these alignment tools and more:
- The four facets of data products: A simple blueprint that encapsulates data and business logic helps eliminate the most common causes of wasted time and misunderstanding
- The concept compass: An easy way to identify the biggest sources of misalignment
- Success spectrums: Define the required knowledge and road map your team needs to achieve success
- JSON Schema: Leverage JSON and JSON Schema to technically implement the strategy at scale, including extending JSON Schema with custom keywords, understanding JSON Schema annotations, and hosting your own schema registry
- Data hygiene: Learn how to design high-quality datasets aligned with creating real business value, and protect your organization from the most common sources of pain
