Information is at the heart of decision making in any business, and event streaming, real-time analytics and AI/ML integration offer new possibilities to transform digital business strategies and boost data economies.

Sydney Data Story Canvas videos allow the same stories to have greater reach across USYD by being available online and embeddable into any course (for more information visit Canvas site). Furthermore, video clips may be cut up and reused for other purposes – for instance an outreach workshop for high school students at USYD.

This article introduces SDy (Statistical Difference Score), a statistical technique commonly employed in human resource (HR) roles to assess performance differences between candidates or incumbents for roles or between incumbents of current roles and new hires in dollar terms. SDy provides managers with tools for making more effective decisions within HR roles while simultaneously finding ways to enhance team performance.

As an example, assume two candidates for a particular role have comparable qualifications and experience. You might decide to offer one candidate the role, yet their requested salary is $10,000 higher than that of the other candidate. SDy can help here too by giving an idea of the amount the other candidate would need to accept in order for your offer to remain competitive.

Attendees of this Meetup will also have a unique opportunity to network and collaborate with data enthusiasts from Sydney’s greater region, making this Meetup an excellent way to raise visibility as an industry leader and stay up-to-date on developments within data. In today’s fast-paced business landscape, harnessing its power is more critical than ever; so whether you are an established business or startup we hope that we see you there!
