– Then select a key area of predictive analytics (from chapters 4-7) to implement in the organization. Some key areas to consider are listed below.

Select major topic (Data mining process, methods, and algorithms (from Chapter 4); Machine- learning Techniques for Predictive Analytics (from Chapter 5); Deep Learning and Cognitive Computing (from 6); and Text Mining, Sentiment Analysis, and Social Analytics to discuss for the residency requirement ( from chapter7) 

You must indicate:

– Why the predictive analytic component is going to be implemented by noting the problem that you are trying to solve, noting how your team will solve the problem with the selected method (this must be a thorough in-depth analysis), and also present your findings using a power point presentation.

1. The CEO’s Challenge
   Use the Week 3 Assignment Template to complete this assignment.
   Choose a company to base this paper on. You may use a current or former employer, but do not disclose anything confidential. Or, you can pick another organization if you are familiar with their internal (not customer-facing) information systems. You can disguise the organization and populate it with famous names. Made-up companies are problematic because of the amount of detail and realism they require.
   You’ve just left an all-hands meeting at this company. The CEO was very upset at the rise of shadow IT projects, a major indicator that the company’s internal information system has failed to meet its needs. Because the current information system is inadequate, inefficient, and outdated, the CEO is inviting everyone in the organization to propose a new operational, decision support, or enterprise information system to replace it. The executives have allocated $5 million to fund the most promising idea.
   This is your chance to make a difference in the company (not to mention your own career). Write your proposal as a memo that the entire C-suite will review. Include at least these points, in your own words, to be persuasive:
   1. Identify the main functions of your proposed information system and why they are important to the business.
   2. Describe what types of data your information system will hold and how data quality will be ensured.
   3. Explain how the old information system handles the functions you mentioned, the problems that occur, and why your information system will handle things better.
   4. Offer evidence of feasibility: Show that similar information systems have been built successfully and that they save more money than they cost.
   5. The executives are busy, so keep your memo to 1–4 pages and avoid any extraneous content.
      This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards. For assistance and information, please refer to the Strayer Writing Standards link in the left-hand menu of your course.

Please use this strategy when you analyze a case:

1. Identify and write the main issues found discussed in the case (who, what, how, where and when (the critical facts in a case).
2. List all indicators (including stated “problems”) that something is not as expected or as desired.
3. Briefly analyze the issue with theories found in your textbook or other academic materials. Decide which ideas, models, and theories seem useful. Apply these conceptual tools to the situation. As new information is revealed, cycle back to sub steps a and b.
4. Identify the areas that need improvement (use theories from your textbook)
   • Specify and prioritize the criteria used to choose action alternatives.
   • Discover or invent feasible action alternatives.
   • Examine the probable consequences of action alternatives.
   • Select a course of action.
   • Design and implementation plan/schedule.
   • Create a plan for assessing the action to be implemented.
5. Conclusion (every paper should end with a strong conclusion or summary)

Writing Requirements

• 3–5 pages in length  (excluding cover page, abstract, and reference list)
• APA format, Use the APA template located in the Student Resource Center to complete the assignment.
