They make the trek not t o learn about technology but to witness a radically different approach t o company culture. \;\n \;\nCEO and "\;Chief Storyteller"\ ; Rich Sheridan removed the fear and ambiguity that typically make a wor kplace miserable. His own experience in the software industry taught him that\, for many\, work was marked by long hours and mismanaged projects with low-quality results. There has to be a better way. \;\n \;\n With joy as the explicit goal\, Sheridan and his team changed everything about how the company was run. They established a shared belief system that supports working in pairs and embraces making mistakes\, all while fostering dignity for the team. \;\n \;\nThe results blew away all expectations. Menlo has won numerous growth awards and was named an Inc . magazine "\;audacious small company"\;. It has tripled its phy sical office three times and produced products that dominate markets for its clients. \;\n \;\nSpeaker Bio: \;\nFrom kid programmer in 1971 to Forbes cover story in 2003\, "\;outlier"\; Richard Sheri dan(U-M grad BS Computer Science '80\, MS Computer Engineering '82) has never shied from challenges\, opportunities nor the limelight. While hi s focus has always been around technology\, his passion is actually pro cess\, teamwork and organizational design\, with one inordinately popula r goal: the business value of joy! Sheridan is an avid reader and histo rian\, and his software design and development team at Menlo Innovations didn't invent a new culture\, but copied an old one ... Edison's Menlo Park New Jersey lab. Henry Ford's recreation of the Menlo Park Lab in G reenfield Village was a childhood inspiration! \;\n \;\nSome call it agile\, some call it lean ... Sheridan and his team call it joyful. A nd it produces results ... business and otherwise. Five Inc. magazine r evenue growth awards\, invites to the White House\, speaking engagements around the nation\, numerous articles and culture awards and so much i nterest they are doing a tour a day of the Menlo Software Factory™. Sher idan was recently enlisted by Portfolio at Penguin to write a book about all he has learned about the effect of a culture focused on Joy. Rich is writing in his "\;spare time”.\n\nImported from: http://calagator .org/events/1250466118 URL:http://www.damapdx.org/ SUMMARY:Joy\, Inc - How We Built a Workplace People Love LOCATION:200 SW Market Street: 200 SW Market Street\, Portland Oregon 972 01 US SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20141109T011955Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20141118T110000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20141118T080000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20141109T011955Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20141109T011955Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250467342 DESCRIPTION:The DAMA Portland Chapter is dedicated to delivering thought provoking\, data-centric presentations that will make you more successfu l in your job \;\n \;\nThis will be a brief introduction to some o f the important concepts that arise in data mining in general and classi fication analysis in particular.

See our damapdx.org site for more details and to register fo r August 4th \;\n \;\nORIGINAL PRESENTATION: \;\nThe world pr oduces more than 2.5 exabytes of data every day. There is just too much information out there and traditional reports using tabs\, rows and colu mns do not paint the whole picture any longer. \;\n \;\nVisualizat ion is one key approach to gaining insight from this mountain of data. A dvanced Visualizations Platforms have enabled the use of more dynamic an d interactive business graphics\, such as real-time dashboards and chart s that update automatically as the data changes. It enables knowledge wo rkers to see the trends and patterns (along with gaps and outliers) in t he data that are not as easily identified in rows and columns of numbers . Even Data Scientists are leveraging advanced visualizations tools to e xplore\, understand and communicate insights\, along with the actions th at need to be taken. \;\n \;\nIn this session\, we will explore ho w advanced visualization tools are being utilized in the era of big data to draw valuable business insights and we will also delve into some of the predominant data visualization tools being used by Data Scientists.& #13\;\n \;\nAbout Us \;\nThe Portland Metro Chapter of the Data A dministration Management Association is a not-for-profit\, vendor indepe ndent\, professional association dedicated to advancing the concepts and practices of enterprise information and data resource management. \; \n \;\nOur primary purpose is to promote the understanding\, developm ent and practice of managing data\, information and knowledge resources as key enterprise assets. \;\nWe generally have our chapter Meetings on the 3rd Thursday of the month. \;\n \;\nUpcoming DAMA PDX Metro Events \;\n•July: "\;Advanced Data Visualization"\; with Ami t P.

We will discuss the educational and skill expe ctations of a data scientist and how those relate to the skills we’ve de veloped as ER Modelers. \;\n \;\nGoing by job descriptions\, data science can easily read like “jack of all trades\, and master of them a ll too”. How do we break that down into something more reasonably achiev able? \;\n \;\nWhat is data science and what is a data scientist? What do they do? \;\n \;\nDo ER Modelers make good Data Scientists ? \;\n \;\nAre the skill sets complementary? \;\n \;\n \; \n \;\n \;\nAnd then we’ll look at some of the basics of text anal ytics\, or extracting information from unstructured text. This won’t be nearly enough detail to make anybody a practitioner\, but we will see se veral of the basic techniques at work and develop a functional mental mo del of some of the techniques. By the time we’re done\, you’ll have been exposed to concepts like: \;\n \;\nTerm-Document Matrix (TDM) \;\nTokenizing \;\nStopword removal (Stopping) \;\nStemming \;\ nAnd as a bonus – we’ll see some Python code for extracting noun phrases \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nBring your questions around thes e topics and let’s get into them. \;\n \;\nOur Speaker \;\nAsok a Diggs is a Data Scientist with Intel Corp. in Hillsboro\, OR. He has a bout 15 years of experience in a variety of data management disciplines\ , including database administration\, ER modeling\, ETL development\, an d data architecture. He has recently transitioned to analysis of data by completing the MS Predictive Analytics degree from Northwestern Univers ity. It turns out that there IS something even more fun than ER modeling \, and he now spends most of his work time practicing his analytic model ing skills\, and teaching others how to participate and contribute to pr edictive analytic projects. \;\n \;\nSchedule \;\n8:30 - 9:00 a m - Sign In \;\n9:00 - 10:15 am - Presentation \;\n10:15 - 10:3 0 am - Break\, Chapter Announcements \;\n10:30 - 11:30 am - Presentat ion continued \;\n \;\nCost \;\nFree for Members!
