Chief Data Officers, Emerging Business Leaders

LONDON (PRWEB)

CDOs are uniquely situated, the paper proposes, to begin taking the lead in company decision making due to the position’s inherent role in understanding data–and the ability to use that data in support of long term strategy.

While companies now understand the value of collecting raw data, that data means nothing without a human interpreter. According to research, the key to getting the most out of data is having a person who can decipher what it actually means–and then transform it into data-driven insights and crucial business outcomes. Without human input, data is practically useless and businesses that ignore the human element are bound to faulter – if not fail outright.

This new understanding of the importance of both data and skilled CDOs means the position is swiftly becoming one of the most prized in all types of organizations. They’re pivotal in every facet of business growth from revenue and innovation to operational efficiencies.

CDOs will have a skill set which allows them to gain insight into the inner workings of an organization from the ground up including sales, finance, marketing and HR. Having this knowledge available means they can help shape strategy and infrastructure decisions, tailor-made to every department depending on their data insight needs.

It’s this capacity for understanding the business on many levels, combined with a uniquely data-driven perspective that’s perfect for future planning, which makes a CDO an ideal prospective CEO.

Exasol’s insight paper seeks to understand and define the qualifications required to become a CDO. Knowing these skills and traits is ideal for those looking to encourage the up and coming generation of the workforce, in considering a lucrative and worthwhile career as a data pioneer and future leader.

In this paper, Exasol investigates:

  • Why every organization needs a CDO

  • Why there is a current lack of them

  • The path to becoming a CDO

  • How data analysts looking to advance their career can take steps to position themselves as tomorrow’s business leaders through their skills in generating and making decisions based on data insights

BayView Professional Associates introduces new option for treating major depressive disorder

Leave a comment


News Image

If you have been diagnosed with major depressive disorder and medication is not working, or the side effects are intolerable, you should ask your doctor about TMS.


MOBILE, Ala. (PRWEB)

Sadness is a natural part of life. People may feel sad or depressed when someone they love passes away, or they experience one of life’s challenges, such as a serious illness or divorce. These feelings are normal and often short-lived. However, for some, the feeling of sadness can persist and intensify for extended periods. When that happens, they may have major depressive disorder. Major depressive disorder is one of the most common mental health disorders in the United States and the most common diagnosis treated by AltaPointe clinicians.

AltaPointe’s BayView Professional Associates is offering a new treatment option to help adults struggling with major depressive disorder, specifically for those who have tried and failed other treatment options and medications. “We are excited to offer Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) to adult patients at BayView,” said Olivia Nettles, director of BayView Professional Associates. “Treatment-resistant depression is a devastating condition associated with early death from suicide or poor physical health and an impaired ability to work. There is a population of patients who do not respond to antidepressant treatment, and this is another option available to help them live a better life.”

TMS is a noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression. When a nerve cell “fires,” an electrical impulse travels along its length. It communicates with other nerve cells by releasing neuro-transmitters, which create an electrical impulse in other cells. In depressed patients, electrical activity in some regions of the brain is reduced. TMS uses a focused electromagnetic coil to rapidly pulse a magnetic field to the targeted area of the brain. The magnetic pulses induce an electrical current in the brain, stimulating the nerve cells and increasing the brain activity to normal levels.

John Conrad, assistant director of BayView Professional Associate and a licensed independent clinical social worker with more than 25 years of experience, encourages people to learn all they can about the treatment. “If you have been diagnosed with major depressive disorder and medication is not working, or the side effects are intolerable, you should ask your doctor about TMS,” Conrad said. “Treatment-resistant depression is historically debilitating; this is a new option with fewer side effects than traditional medications, and offers a chance to live life anew.”

Some people living with major depressive disorder cannot remember life without depression. The National Institute of Health estimates 10 to 30 percent of people with depression do not respond to first-line treatments. Treatment-resistant depression is a clinical concern and can pose significant burdens to patients and their families.

“TMS is readily incorporated into the patient’s treatment plan and allows for minimal disruption during the day. Appointments run 35 minutes at the most. Research supports the use of TMS to treat major depressive disorder, as well as anecdotal experience,” Sean Sinclair, M.D., said. “This new option for patients adds immensely to our services here at BayView.”

To learn more about how TMS may help you, call BayView Professional Associates at (251) 450-2250.

WASHINGTON (PRWEB)

myDigitalOffice, the hotel information management and back-office automation platform for sourcing, processing and storing hotel data in the cloud, today announced the company has hired three new executives as the company continues to grow and expand its offerings.

Matt Curry has joined as Chief Revenue Officer, Sudhir Menon will serve as Chief Technology Officer, and Amy Maloney will serve as EVP of Operations. These key appointments follow rapid growth that saw myDigitalOffice’s customer base expand from 700 to 2,000 properties, a corresponding jump from 1,500 to over 5,000 users, and a workforce expansion from 20 to 100 during the 2019 calendar year. That growth reflects myDigitalOffice’s status as the Best Hotel Accounting and Finance Software for 2020, according to the HotelTechAwards. It also helped myDigitalOffice attract $4 million in Series A funding that was announced in September.

Curry has extensive experience in creating new revenue streams for emerging solutions and markets. He brings a 15-year track record of consistently generating sizeable revenue contributions to hospitality and travel companies, with a focus on group meetings and events, hotel revenue management, and business intelligence.

At myDigitalOffice, Curry will be responsible for revenue operations, retention, and growth, leading Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success.

Menon is an experienced software architect and engineer with over three decades of experience. Prior to joining myDigitalOffice, Menon worked at Hilton for over 25 years, where he held multiple positions ranging from senior architect to Vice President for designing, building, and globalizing OnQ, Hilton’s hospitality platform. At myDigitalOffice, Menon will be responsible for product engineering, further development of the company’s information management platform, continuous technology improvement, and cloud security.

Maloney brings over 25 years of expertise in customer success, support, deployment, product management, engineering, and data science, with nearly 16 of those in hospitality revenue management software. She comes to myDigitalOffice from Rainmaker, a Cendyn company, where she served in many leadership roles growing the company from startup to market leadership. Most recently, she served as the Head of Product and Engineering, with responsibility for overall product strategy, innovation, development, and operations. As EVP of Operations at myDigitalOffice, she will be responsible for developing and executing the company’s business plans and leading operations.

“Every hotelier today is facing information management challenges caused by the proliferation of varying PMS and CRS systems, paper- and printing- based processes, the mobility of the workforce, and the widespread need for compliance. That provides infinite opportunities for the myDigitalOffice platform,” said Ali Moloo, myDigitalOffice founder and CEO. “Matt, Sudhir, and Amy are proven leaders in the hospitality industry with expertise in hotel back-office software. Their experience at high-growth companies will help us build the right structure, processes, and strategy to take full advantage of those opportunities, and allow myDigitalOffice to continue to expand our work delivering transformative solutions for our customers.”

Special Learning, Inc. Announces the Launch of its Global Solutions in Russian speaking countries to Help Those who Serve Individuals with Autism and Other Special Needs

Leave a comment


We are excited to expand our global reach so that we may help meet the educational and training needs of the autism clinical communities across the Russian speaking community.


PALO ALTO, Calif. (PRWEB)

Special Learning, Inc. is the leading global provider of Autism and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) solutions with the mission to bring quality ABA intervention to the world. The organization utilizes unique methodologies that include rigorous training, virtual services, and an educational suite comprised of curriculum and teaching materials to enable unfettered global access to quality ABA programming. The company is passionate about changing the lives of people with Autism and other special needs and it is officially expanding its global reach to the Russian-speaking market to provide access to world-class ABA training, curriculum and educational materials and access to ABA experts. You may view and access their growing list of products and services at http://www.SLGlobalSolutions.com.

The organization offers:

o    World-Class Training Programs and Packages translated into local area languages

o    Cost-effective products and services to support every parent, educator and professional

o    Access to evidence-based training materials only available in the United States

o    A Clinically Acclaimed ABA Course in the Russian language

  •      Includes 9 lessons of video-based training with nearly 20 hours of direct training on Autism, ABA and application to start changing lives of persons with disabilities from day 1.

  •      All lessons delivered by a world-class Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who brings her experience and expertise with an engaging approach to learning in the Russian language.

  •      The program is sequenced to build-upon skills for fluid learning and bringing what you learn to real-life.

  •      Includes a certificate of completion- the first of its kind to the Russian and Kazakhstan regions of the world

o    Tools and Materials to Create the Best Individualized Plan in Russian and Kazakh languages

  •      Social Narrative Stories to teach skills from language development to how to “behave” in certain situations (e.g. raising your hand in the classroom)

There are approximately 70 million people with autism in the world, and yet there is a worldwide scarcity of trained professionals to implement evidence-based intervention programs. Less than 10% of the world’s population with autism has access to a life-changing intervention known as Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA).

ABA is an evidenced-based intervention that with early and intensive application of quality ABA programming has demonstrated 47% success rate helping children with autism to mainstream. Furthermore, with proper application, ABA has been proven to help over 90% of people on the autism spectrum achieve a greater level of independence. However, the world is experiencing an acute shortage of certified ABA experts, Board Certified Behavioral Analysts (BCBAs), to support the world’s autism population. As of November 2019, there are less than 40,000 BCBAs in the world, most of whom practice in the United States. As a result of the extreme scarcity of certified or credentialed ABA experts to treat and supervise intervention programs, quality ABA therapy is currently only accessible in a handful of countries.

Special Learning, Inc.’s evidence-based autism intervention programs will help address this global scarcity issue; making its programs and services available across all of the Russian speaking world.

“We are excited to expand our global reach so that we may help meet the educational and training needs of the autism clinical communities across the Russian speaking community. Our comprehensive programs have been customized and translated to give parents, educators and clinicians access to hundreds of best-in-class tools and training programs. We have spent the last 10 years developing, designing, testing, refining and now implementing the best and most cost-effective means to provide digital access to ABA. We believe helping to improve the quality of care through educational opportunities will mean that we’ve helped to improve the lives of millions of people with autism around the world.” said Karen Chung, CEO at Special Learning, Inc.
