There is no wrong time to make the right decision, but some important decisions have a time frame. If a decision is delayed, the opportunity may be gone forever. A good decision is therefore timely, and relies on good data.
As a leader or decision maker in the modern age, you will be required to make data-driven strategic decisions every day in order to learn about your organization’s customers and build a sustainable competitive advantage.
Big data has become an integral part of strategic management. In academic as well as other organizations undergoing digital transformation, leaders and decision makers must be skilled in translating raw numbers and complex reports into the content needed to make vital, evidence-based executive decisions.
Libraries and librarians are uniquely suited to working with big data. Libraries have a long tradition of being information handlers and technology adopters, and big data should be no exception.
In collaboration with the Special Libraries Association – Arabian Gulf Chapter (SLA/AGC), Naseej Academy will conduct a workshop entitled "Big Data for Strategic Planning and Decision Making in Academic Libraries" as part of the 24th Annual Conference & Exhibition of the SLA–AGC, to be held on March 4–5, 2018, in Grand Millennium Muscat, Oman.
Who Should Attend?
The workshop will be of specific interest to:
- Senior-level managers and heads of academic libraries (including directors, chief librarians and deputies)
- Teams in charge of strategic planning.
Participants will extend their knowledge and strengthen their skills in the area addressed by the workshop. They will be able to recognize the implications of big data for their organization, and develop a road map for addressing key big data challenges.
The workshop will be led by an expert senior consultant, who will address participants’ questions on the applications of big data in academic libraries through a mix of presentations, success stories and hands-on practical exercises. He will also instruct participants on how to convert big data to big knowledge that will help them meet their organizations’ needs and drive operational excellence.
