November 1, 2022

Sharad Malhautra head shot

Sharad Malhautra, M.B.A.
 

Co-Founder and CEO
DSilo Inc. 


This presentation discusses how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be used to drive cost savings and business improvement across an enterprise's business silos. The focus will be on streamlining business spend and improving overall compliance in the supply chain ecosystem using AI. The key for AI is to convert unstructured data like contracts, POs and invoices into structured data and then using AI techniques for reconciliation and harmonization of the data.

Sharad Malhautra is the co-founder and CEO of DSilo Inc. DSilo is a deep-learning Artificial Intelligence (AI) platform focused on solving some of the hardest enterprise problems at scale. Its focus is to enable enterprises to reduce contract value leakage across their supply and demand networks. 

Malhautra has more than 15 years of global leadership driving results focused on business and digital transformations across the United States, Europe, and Asia. He has in depth leadership experience of helping enterprises get accelerated value from their business and digital transformations. Previously, he served as the global product leader for EY’s OpsChain (blockchain) platform working with emerging and digital technologies including AI - deep learning, NLP, ML, RPA, intelligent automation and distributed ledger. 

Malhautra is also active in community activities and is currently working to innovate breakthrough ideas to end child hunger and homelessness globally. He was awarded the 2015 Association of Management Consulting Firms (AMCF) award for Corporate Social Responsibility.
 


Evidence-Centered Design for Business Analytics

October 18, 2022

Andreas head shot

Andreas Oranje, Ph.D., M.B.A.

VP of Assessment & Learning Technology Research and Development
Education Testing Service 


In this address, Andreas will introduce the approach and provide some practical examples into business analytics. Behavioral and business analytics are increasingly becoming intertwined, especially as we carry multiple sensors with us, often day and night, that are always on. Going well beyond observable facts, inferential approaches are quickly taking over to make the next leap in predicting behavior and, therefore, business outcomes. One way to develop an inferential chain of reasoning, is to borrow the Evidence Centered Design framework from the educational assessment world and enhance that with a “design for insights” approach for learning analytics. This approach provides a structured way to connect claims to the appropriate evidence or backing for those claims and readily extends to more general business and behavior analysis pursuits.

Andreas Oranje (M.A., Ph.D.: University of Amsterdam; M.B.A.: University of North-Carolina at Chapel Hill) is Educational Testing Service’s VP of Assessment & Learning Technology Research and Development. His division is responsible for developing all of ETS’ assessments as well as innovating our future product, capabilities, and services portfolio through the AI Research Labs unit. Originally trained as a quantitative psychologist, his work included statistical research for the National Assessment of Educational Progress, game-based and virtual performance assessment, and the application of AI in education.
