Jean said The Oft-Forgotten Side of Data and Analytics. Is there a philosophical angle to today's technology? Should there be? And what can we learn from the world's famous philosophers about how we interact today with technology and data? For example, today's organizations are inundated by data, and big data is at the forefront of most data-related conversations. Add to that the fact that technological advances are making it possible to analyze every bit of that data to gain insight into customers, products, processes and more. That's the good news. But there's another aspect of data and analysis that all companies have to consider. In this intriguing new book, Socrates Relo. Ramon.L.B. van der Aa said Buytendijk reinvents. Once again Frank Buytendijk succeeds in reinventing his writing skills. Other then his previous books, Buytendijk examens different points of view without persuading the reader with his own opinion, but leaves room for your own thoughts.The questions and wondering how things might have been or are today are more important then which is right or wrong.With his writing Frank Buytendijk proves that Philosophy is not only an academic theme.Current times are confusing, and there's only one place to find the right answers " Find the answers in yourself"Asking yourself where do I stand, what do I believe and where do I want to . A brilliant new/old look at IT Frank Buytendik is easy to spot - a loud, brash, opinionated, proud dutch man with a name that most english speaking people can't pronounce. But Frank is also friendly, intelligent and sees things a little differ from the rest of us, as is evidenced by his conference presentations and books.I have known Frank for a long time and thought that I knew his writings. His last book 'Dealing with Dilemmas' is a classic providing great insight and clarity into decision making. However his latest book - Socrates Reloaded - takes his writings to another level. In it Frank presents a series of essays on the technology issues that f
Frank has published over 100 research papers and articles at Gartner, in professional journals, magazines and press, including the Balanced Scorecard Report (Harvard Business Press), Business Performance Management Magazine, CIO Magazine, and CFO Magazine. . More down to earth, his daughter once described it as “my daddy sits in airplanes, stands on stages, and tells jokes.” Frank is also a visiting fellow at Cranfield University School of Management, a regular guest lecturer at London School of Economics, and a TDWI Fellow. He has been quoted in newspapers and magazines all over the world, and appeared on RTL Television and CNBC. He is an exceptional speaker at conferences all over the world, and was recently called an “intellectual provocateur” and “having an unusual warm tone of voice.” His wor
Did Marx predict the end of the Internet giants? Are there moral limits to the power of analytics? What did Plato and Socrates have to say about governance and architecture? Do we depend too much on technology? This and more in Socrates Reloaded.. We need to question and redefine our business philosophy. In a series of essays he explores how the old philosophers would have viewed modern themes in business and IT. In his inimitable style, Buytendijk is surprisingly practical, highly provocative, deeply insightful, very entertaining, and quite contrarian as he challenges common wisdom and beliefs. With innovations in business and technology removing so many borders and lifting so many constraints, the questions that business professionals wrestle with move from ?How do we achieve things? to ?What do we do with all that power?? Best practices do not work anymore, they represent solutions for yesterday?s problems. In his fifth book, Socrates Reloaded, strategy author Frank Buytendijk meanders through 2,500 years of philosophy
