Panel: Data-Driven Decision Making
2017 is seeing big data evolve and become more accessible to businesses of all sizes, but 77% of organizations don’t even have a big data strategy in place. In this session, members of Michigan’s big data industry will be sharing their strategies to turn data analysis into agile decision-making.
Panel: Building and Engaging a Remote Workforce
The Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that about one-third of American employees do some or all of their work from home. Some of Michigan’s most forward-thinking companies will lend you insight to implementing a remote work strategy, and meshing it with your team’s culture.
Session: Practical Security Strategies
Worldwide spending on IT security products and services grew 7.9% last year, and security budgets are rising. This unique session will explore common sense security solutions and mindsets, that won’t hinder the ability for teams to work.
