Making Big Data big in terms of effectiveness

[Adam Fleming]

Our world today is unthinkable without data. We seem to be flooded by it. Day in and day out, the world processes trillions of bytes. Big Data seems to be everywhere and has compounded our already heavy reliance on data.

But has this proliferation of data made any significant difference to our lives? Has it made our business decision-making any more effective or insightful? What has this surfeit of data meant in terms of usefulness and value? Does reliance on Big Data necessarily mean better business decisions?

Making sense of data

Translating tomes and tomes of this data into something that is useful is a big challenge in today's world. This is a capability that needs to be translated into tangible, competitive strength, if quality and compliance have to be improved. Data Management and Quality metrics are important tools that can help in a host of important functions such as forecasting, resource allocation, risk management, decision making, and continuous improvement.

Susanne Manz, who is an accomplished leader in the medical device industry emphasizing on quality, compliance, and Six Sigma, will impart the insightfulness needed to make sense of Big Data to participants of a webinar that Compliance4All, a highly popular provider of professional trainings for all the areas of regulatory compliance, is organizing.

Absolutely useful aid in decision-making for management review

Management Review, among the fundamental requirements of a suitable Quality System; relies on timely, accurate and complete information to make risk-based decisions. An organization that is immersed in data that leads nowhere in helping it with the critical information to ensure product safety and effectiveness has no use from this kind of Big Data.

Organizations need to have not heaps of data, but what in it gives them the ability to measure to understand quality, compliance, and customer satisfaction. This is the test of the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of their data. The aim of this webinar is to help participants develop the data management processes that help them optimize their quality system efficiency and effectiveness.

Susanne will cover the following areas at this webinar:

o  What metrics are needed for quality and compliance success

o  Sources of data

o  Analytics capabilities

o  Descriptive and Predictive Data

o  Structure and process for managing data

o  Data Governance

o  Data Preparation

o  Using data for forecasting, continuous improvement, and management review.
