A professional, no matter what area he belongs to, I believe, should never think that his truth is definitive or that his way of doing or solving something is the best. And, logically, I had to get it right and wrong to reach this simple conclusion. Now, what does that have to do with the purpose of this book? This book that I have gathered important tips and advice from an elite of data science professionals from various sectors and reputable experience? After I've worked on hundreds of consulting projects and implementation of best practices in Relationship Marketing (CRM), Business Intelligence (BI) and Customer Experience (CX), as well as countless Information Technology projects, one truth is absolute: We need data! Most companies say they do everything perfect, but it is not shown in the media or the press the headache that the areas of Information Technology suffer to join the right data. And when they do manage to unite and make it available, the time to market has already been lost and possible opportunities. Therefore, if a company wants to be considered excellence in corporate governance and satisfy the legal, marketing, sales, customer service, technology, logistics, products, among other areas, this company must start as soon as possible to become a data driven and real-time company. For this, I recommend companies to look for their digital intuitions, and digital inspirations. So, with this book, I am proposing that all the employees and companies will arrive one day that they will know how to use, from their data, their sixth sense. The sixth sense is an extrasensory perception, which goes beyond our five basic senses, vision, hearing, taste, smell, touch. It is a sensation of intuition, which in a certain way allows us to have sensations of "clairvoyance" and even visions of future events. A company will only achieve this ability if it immediately begins to apply true data governance. And the illustrious data scientists who are part of this book will show you the way to take the first step: - Eric Siegel, Predictive Analytics World, USA - Bill Inmon, The Father of Datawarehouse, Forest Rim Technology, USA - Bram Nauts, ABN AMRO Bank, Netherlands - Jim Sterne, Digital Analytics Association, USA - Terry Miller, Siemens, USA - Shivanku Misra, Hilton Hotels, USA - Caner Canak, Turkcell, Turkey - Dr. Kirk Borne, Booz Allen Hamilton, USA - Dr. Bülent Kızıltan, Harvard University, USA - Kate Strachnyi, Story by Data, USA - Kristen Kehrer, Data Moves Me, USA - Marie Wallace, IBM Watson Health, Ireland - Timothy Kooi, DHL, Singapore - Jesse Anderson, Big Data Institute, USA - Charles Givre, JPMorgan Chase & Co, USA - Anne Buff, Centene Corporation, USA - Bala Venkatesh, AIBOTS, Malaysia - Mauro Damo, Hitachi Vantara, USA - Dr. Rajkumar Bondugula, Equifax, USA - Waldinei Guimaraes, Experian, Brazil - Michael Ferrari, Atlas Research Innovations, USA - Dr. Aviv Gruber, Tel-Aviv University, Israel - Amit Agarwal, NVIDIA, India This book is part of the CRM and Customer Experience Trilogy called CX Trilogy which aims to unite the worldwide community of CX, Customer Service, Data Science and CRM professionals.
