SUMMARY:Data Science Institute-Industry-Innovation Seminar: Johnson & Johnson
DESCRIPTION:OPEN TO ALL\n\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n\nAmel Lageat\, Senior Director\, Consumer Business: “People centric approach to optimize Data Science\, Commercial impact and Leadership”\n\n \nWednesday\, November 14\, 2018\n10:30AM – 12:00PM\nSchapiro CEPSR\, Davis Auditorium (412)\n \n\n\n\nAbstract: In a world of Infobesity\, analysts\, engineers\, professionals\, executive leaders\, and people now have access to more data and analytics opportunities that we can ever make sense of. However\, a genuine people centric approach can provide the sharpest guidance in designing relevant strategies and solutions: it makes data\, models\, and analytics more meaningful and purposeful\, and also leads to marketing and commercial impact in global organizations.  In this talk\, I will use various business examples to discuss this premise\, including negative targeting (voluntarily deciding to not advertise to a person)\, the UX of marketing mix modeling (who is the real user?)\, and servant leadership to data experts (what does it look like?).\n\n\n–\nBio: Amel Lageat is heading up Global Analytics for the Johnson &Johnson Consumer Division. She has spent the last 20 years leading various commercial organizations within J&J (Marketing\, Market research and analytics)\, in France\, the UK and the US. Her recipe for impact is a fruitful combination of data\, curiosity and empathy.
