There are known knowns…

Photo by  Jose Castillo  on  Unsplash “There are known knowns…” - This is from a quote made by Donald Rumsfeld in 2002 . In 2002, I was part of the crowd that ridiculed this quote made to the press. The video clip of the press conference can be seen here . Another video of an interview of Donald Rumsfeld done by Stephen Colbert in 2016 presents a very interesting additional take on this concept (starting at about the 4:30 mark of the video). However, over time, I have realized the nuances and the depth of this approach of holistic thinking. This technique lends itself very nicely to strategy building. For simplicity, I will refer to this concept of known/unknown as ‘KU’ or ‘KU Matrix’ in this post The motivation for this post comes from a discussion with colleagues on Data & Analytics Strategy. Here are some of my thoughts in the applicability of KU concepts with regards to Data/Analytics work and strategy.   KU Matrix Let’s begin with a generic form of the 2X2 KU matri

The biggest time was spent in going from work visa to Permanent resident with the long wait times for an Indian citizen. It is the end of a lot of waiting, a lot of checking the status of various applications on the USCIS site, and a LOT of documents including a notarized statement from my mom attesting to my birth! The two overwhelming emotions I felt after the oath ceremony, getting my certificate of naturalization, and walking out of the office were Acceptance and Relief.  Acceptance: It felt really good to be welcomed and accepted as a

Digitization Maturity

Picture Credit: Shahadat Rahman on Unsplash.com Digitization is more than a buzzword in the analytics' business vocabulary. Maybe not with as much bling, pomp, and mystery as AI, Machine Learning, or Deep Learning.  Automation, RPA, bots, hyper-automation, digital-twin are some of the newer terms that have become part of the business executive's vocabulary and wish list in the last few years. The level of sophistication is increasing with many of these newer technologies. However, there are many practitioners just recycling the terminology to describe the 'same' work and efforts regardless of the sophistication. I tend to think of digitization as a catch-all term for all of these efforts.  In this post, I'll touch on digitization maturity with business processes and the interplay with analytics maturity. First of all, digitization of business processes is a journey. It's more like an ultra-marathon where the finish line seems to get farther and farther away the
