...Often as a LDR specifically as a Company Commander I would constantly talk to my Lts and senior NCOs about looking at the big picture. Sometimes we get a tasking or mission they feel does not make sense or seem to have no purpose. I have to always remind them to look at the “big picture” of this requirement before making any negative judgment. Often these taskings make sense to myself as a commander and whether I like it or not is irrelevant because in my on deductive reasoning it supports a picture much bigger than I. I have always thought about how do I train my junior officers and NCOs to think of the big picture operationally. The answer was always right in front of me. Train junior officers and NCOs to think big picture operationally through the use of case studies. Often in required OES we use case studies to broaden our critical thinking skills and to think at higher levels and 3rd and 4th order effects—the “big picture” In today’s conflicts major changes has occurred in Army training. One catch phrase that has evolved from the current conflict is the “strategic corporal” An E4 making strategic decisions while leading a patrol through the streets of Baghdad or the mountains in Afghanistan is now common place.

For example , this picture doesn’t mean any effective sense here rather it just reduce the sizes of take proper information on the page. These pictures also increasing the page loaded time and it is hamper for any web site and customers feel disappointed when they browse the sites. Therefore, another problem are the site has lack of information. The information are not organized nicely and the site is not look like a standard financial service’s web site. Moreover, in this website meta description is not mention clearly. Visitors will be confused about the description while they visit the site. Then, in this site they don’t mention about reward program or the ranking position of their bank. Additionally, they just put their sponsor’s picture in their site but they don’ mention about their designation and other information about their sponsors that is very difficult to recognize their sponsors through visiting web site. In my observation another findings they don’t take important information in their site and the information that provided in their web site is not organized clearly. They uploaded many unnecessary pictures instead of providing important information. For example, this picture is not needed to upload broadly. Instead of this if they organize their homepage with full of information it will be meaningful. Another finding is that...

(Predictive Policing Symposium, 2010) The five elements of predictive policing focusing on are integrated information and operations, seeing the big picture, cutting-edge analysis and technology, linkage to performance, adaptability to changing conditions. There are a very large number of ways technology used to implement these five elements: patrol staffing and resource allocation, time and location of future incidence in a crime pattern, identify individuals who are likely to reoffend/early detection of career criminals, analysis of predatory patterns, threat and vulnerability assessment, city/neighborhood planning, traffic management, crowd control …and the list goes on. In a world where technology is developing and evolving faster than it can be implemented, it is realistic to assume that the police force would adapt and use that technology to place them in a good position to be able to adequately and effectively do its job. The first element, integrated information and operation, removes silos allowing for simpler and timelier access to information. It centers on developing, managing, and operating and integrated information infrastructure. One of the largest IT pitfalls of many businesses is having information isolated with departments. The police are no different, they maintain many multiple databases. Rarely, in the past,...

We will definitely be affected whether we want it or not, in terms of using information from the internet, designs, pictures, books and etc. We should know that people’s works can’t be taken whatsoever; there are limitations and regulations on how we use their works. For example, if we take phrases or data from a book or article, we need to insert their name, their book/article title, so-called as bibliography and footnotes. It’s one of the acts not to be a plagiary or violate their IPR or copyright their owned. Today’s actions and issues will determine the future. Nevertheless, IPR in the globalized world now is at risk, if today we can’t event protect our own works, the future will follow that our works will definitely will be followed and there will be no innovation made. How can we develop when there’s no innovation at all? How can a developing country become one step ahead than others when he has no protection on his own jobs that is needed in order to be the one with the works that the other people can only dream of?

...Trends and Implementation Strategies for Business Intelligence and Analytics A rapidly emerging trend across almost every industry and organization is the increased utilization of data. From process automation to on-demand agile reporting to robust business intelligence and analytics (BI&A), data remains the future of business. Because of this trend, BI&A has become an industry in its own right. Software companies of all sizes are developing tools that are changing the future of business archetypes. According to Gartner, Inc., “By 2020, information will be used to reinvent, digitalize or eliminate 80% of business processes and products from a decade earlier” (Forbes 2015). As BI&A continues to quickly grow, there are multiple trends, techniques, platforms and expanding technologies that impact how organizations might tackle the development of a universal BI&A platform. The current “hot” trend, increasingly on the rise is self-service analytics, which opens the use of data to more people in a real-time way. Rado Kotorov, a Chief Innovation Officer at Information Builders predicts that for 2016: “…Self-service analytics will evolve beyond just self-service for analysts. There will be self-service information for the masses delivered not through tools but through purpose-built interfaces and apps. Just as the ATM in banking evolved from a cash-dispensing machine to a full transaction and account management terminal, so too will self-service mature and spread...
