Training decisions and data mining

KDIR

I chose to discuss this organization because professional trainers and HPT practitioners provide solutions by making important data driven decisions. The International Conference on Knowledge discovery and Information retrieval (KDIR) focuses on identifying and encouraging the development of novel data mining discovery methods. Data mining is an important part of our knowledge driven society. Databases are mined for data that drive the decision making processes. Algorithms and data analysis techniques create models that explain the nature of a specific kind of data or explain the business potential of meaningful data. The ideas that are presented and discussed at this conference contributes to enhancing the intelligence of software services and systems (INSTICC,2009).

Corporate IQ

“ When it comes to the firm's strategy (marketing and innovation), there are no "best practices." The best strategy is one that fits its particular context well” (Underwood, 2009) . What would be the most appropriate structure for assessing whether the intervention provides a solution, in this situation? The solution would have to be an original based on the conditions surrounding the need. What role does the “Corporate IQ” concept play in the decision making process of a consultant?  Can social networking technologies improve an organization's IQ in a given period of time, in order to respond to a threat?
