关于客户
本案例研究中的客户是科罗拉多大学,具体来说是利兹商学院。该大学是位于美国的一所大型教育机构。利兹商学院是大学内的一个部门,为学生提供各种与商业相关的课程。该学院致力于为学生提供在商业世界中取得成功所需的技能和知识。这包括向他们传授商业领域的最新技术和趋势,例如预测分析。该学院认识到预测分析在重塑商业和社会方面的重要性,因此热衷于将其纳入课程。
挑战
预测分析正在重塑商业和社会,引发了关于高校应如何培养毕业生的严肃问题。答案之一可能是向所有商学院学生教授预测分析。实现这一重要愿景需要什么?为什么目前还没有实现?作为一名商业分析教授,Kai Larsen 的目标是教授各种各样的学生:那些立即了解预测分析如何重塑其未来工作(信息管理和营销)的学生,那些早已将不同风格的商业分析融入其领域核心的学生(运营管理和金融),以及那些预测分析目前仅重塑其学科的一小部分的学生(会计)。很明显,所有这些学生都必须至少从概念上理解预测分析,以便做出影响其公司未来的决策,因为机器学习工具将继续提供商业洞察力并推动企业内部和外部的变革。
解决方案
要想成功教授预测分析,Larsen 教授认为必须解决两个复杂问题:特定算法的数据预处理以及算法评估与选择。有数百种甚至数千种机器学习算法可供选择。有些算法是商业限制的,但大多数都是开源的,可以在 R 和 Python 中的特定软件包或专用的前沿软件包(如 Google 的 Tensorflow)中找到。预测分析过去需要理解所有这些算法,并且知道如何在它们之间进行选择;同一种算法很少能同时解决两个不同的问题。随着数据量的增长,评估所有这些算法会给教授预测分析所需的基础设施带来巨大挑战。这两个复杂性共同解释了为什么预测分析一直属于为期一年的分析学硕士课程的范围,并且到目前为止还不在核心商业课程范围内。

IoT platform Enables Safety Solutions for U.S. School Districts
Designed to alert drivers when schoolchildren are present, especially in low-visibility conditions, school-zone flasher signals are typically updated manually at each school. The switching is based on the school calendar and manually changed when an unexpected early dismissal occurs, as in the case of a weather-event altering the normal schedule. The process to reprogram the flashers requires a significant effort by school district personnel to implement due to the large number of warning flashers installed across an entire school district.

Revolutionizing Medical Training in India: GSL Smart Lab and the LAP Mentor
The GSL SMART Lab, a collective effort of the GSL College of Medicine and the GSL College of Nursing and Health Science, was facing a challenge in providing superior training to healthcare professionals. As clinical medicine was becoming more focused on patient safety and quality of care, the need for medical simulation to bridge the educational gap between the classroom and the clinical environment was becoming increasingly apparent. Dr. Sandeep Ganni, the director of the GSL SMART Lab, envisioned a world-class surgical and medical training center where physicians and healthcare professionals could learn skills through simulation training. He was looking for different simulators for different specialties to provide both basic and advanced simulation training. For laparoscopic surgery, he was interested in a high fidelity simulator that could provide basic surgical and suturing skills training for international accreditation as well as specific hands-on training in complex laparoscopic procedures for practicing physicians in India.

Implementing Robotic Surgery Training Simulator for Enhanced Surgical Proficiency
Fundacio Puigvert, a leading European medical center specializing in Urology, Nephrology, and Andrology, faced a significant challenge in training its surgical residents. The institution recognized the need for a more standardized and comprehensive training curriculum, particularly in the area of robotic surgery. The challenge was underscored by two independent studies showing that less than 5% of residents in Italian and German residency programs could perform major or complex procedures by the end of their residency. The institution sought to establish a virtual reality simulation lab that would include endourological, laparoscopic, and robotic platforms. However, they needed a simulator that could replicate both the hardware and software of the robotic Da Vinci console used in the operating room, without being connected to the actual physical console. They also required a system that could provide both basic and advanced simulation training, and a metrics system to assess the proficiency of the trainees before they performed surgical procedures in the operating theater.

Edinburgh Napier University streamlines long-distance learning with Cisco WebEX
• Geographically dispersed campus made in-person meetings costly and inconvenient.• Distance-learning programs in Malaysia, India, and China required dependable, user-friendly online tools to maximize interaction in collaborative workspaces.• Virtual learning environment required a separate sign-in process, resulting in a significant administrative burden for IT staff and limited adoption of collaboration technology.

8x increased productivity with VKS
Before VKS, a teacher would spend a lot of time showing a group of 22 students how to build a set of stairs within a semester of 120 hours. Along with not leaving the teacher much time to provide one-on-one support for each student to properly learn carpentry, it also left a considerable amount of room for error. Key information would be misinterpreted or lost as the class was taught in the typical show-and-tell way.

Scalable IoT Empowering GreenFlex's Sustainable Growth
GreenFlex, a company that supports sustainable development, decarbonization, and energy efficiency, faced several challenges in its quest to expand its business. The company needed to deploy a robust and sustainable IoT technology to support its growth. It was crucial for them to monitor and control devices at customer sites in a safe and reliable manner. They also needed to integrate devices across a range of communication protocols and gather and act on data to meet efficiency targets. GreenFlex had previously built IoT capabilities into its digital platform, GreenFlexIQ, to monitor and manage customer sites remotely. However, they soon realized that they needed a new platform to support their ambitions. They needed a platform that could scale to connect more devices for production management and make it easier for the operations team to manage devices in the field.
