As the pace of technology innovation accelerates, several emerging trends are poised to fundamentally alter how organizations tackle some of the most profound challenges and opportunities in 2016, particularly in two of the highest priority areas right now: cyber security and advanced analytics.
“As cyber risk and advanced analytics demand increasing attention from the c-suite, we are about to enter a fundamentally different period,” said Bill Stewart, executive vice president and leader of Booz Allen’s commercial cyber business. “The dynamics will change – both in terms of the issues themselves and the solutions available. Skilled leaders will factor these changing dynamics into their planning, investments and operations.“The developments in the technology market, coupled with greater application of advanced analytics methods and data science, will have a significant impact across the board.”
Those organizations who can build capability quickly as data plays an increasingly strategic role, will have an exponential competitive advantage,” states Xena Ugrinsky, a Booz Allen Senior Vice President and leader of the firm’s commercial analytics business.
