Jojo Moolayil is a data scientist, living in Bengaluru—the silicon valley of India. With over 4 years of industrial experience in Decision Science and IoT, he has worked with industry leaders on high impact and critical projects across multiple verticals. He is currently associated with GE, the pioneer and leader in data science for Industrial IoT. Jojo was born and raised in Pune, India and graduated from University of Pune with a major in information technology engineering. With a vision to solve problems at scale, Jojo found solace in decision science and learnt to solve a variety of problems across multiple industry verticals early in his career. He started his career with Mu Sigma Inc., the world's largest pure play analytics provider where he worked with the leaders of many fortune 50 clients. With the passion to solve increasingly complex problems, Jojo touch based with Internet of Things and found deep interest in the very promising area of consumer and industrial IoT. One of the early enthusiasts to venture into IoT analytics, Jojo converged his learnings from decision science to bring the problem solving frameworks and his learnings from data and decision science to IoT. To cement his foundations in industrial IoT and scale the impact of the problem solving experiments, he joined a fast growing IoT Analytics startup called Flutura based in Bangalore and headquartered in the valley. Flutura focuses exclusively on Industrial IoT and specializes in analytics for M2M data. It is with Flutura, where Jojo reinforced his problem solving skills for M2M and Industrial IoT while working for the world's leading manufacturing giant and lighting solutions providers. His quest for solving problems at scale brought the 'product' dimension in him naturally and soon he also ventured into developing data science products and platforms. After a short stint with Flutura, Jojo moved on to work with the leaders of Industrial IoT, that is, G.E. in Bangalore, where he focused on solving decision science problems for Industrial IoT use cases. As a part of his role in GE, Jojo also focuses on developing data science and decision science products and platforms for Industrial IoT.

Summary


In this chapter, we touched base on the final stage of the problem solving journey-prescriptive analytics. We borrowed a hypothetical use case from the customer experience team of a telecom industry. To solve the problem, we leveraged the layered approach in problem solving and quickly traversed through the descriptive, inquisitive, and predictive path. You then learned about prescriptive analytics and saw how it can be leveraged to enhance the outcome and answer the questions: So what, now what?

To learn the decision making process in decision science, we studied how the problems iterate in reality and how we can solve them better by revisiting the DDH and HDH matrix in our problem solving framework. We further studied how problems are interconnected in nature and how the evolution of a problem can be studied, captured, and proactively solved in a structured way by designing the problem universe and connecting the dots to make more sense of the problem. Finally, we studied how to...
