Executive Briefing: 5 things every executive should NOT know

Description

For modern businesses to release the potential value in large-scale data and stay competitive, they need more than just a lot of data. They need new practices and evolving architectures that use emerging technologies appropriately. Strategies need to take into account not just which data-driven applications should be developed but also how to take business-based action on the insights they deliver, how to build and maintain infrastructure that supports reliability and flexibility, and how to manage the teams that implement all this.

To be efficient and practical but still take advantage of innovation, it’s essential to have an effective separation of concerns. The good news is that there’s a wealth of new options for highly effective infrastructure and corresponding architectures that make this possible.

One way to tell if your organization is doing this well is to consider certain things that executives should not know, either because they shouldn’t be bothered with them or because seeking them out is a flag that your organization isn’t really adapting to modern practice.

Ellen Friedman outlines five things that best practice with emerging technologies and new architectures can give us ways to not know—and why that’s important. Join in to learn some key indicators about whether or not your organization is on the right track and ways to make corrections if need be.
