In order to meet the future demands in my profession, it is
important to keep up to date with trends in the industry. This
includes knowing how data is being used, what tools are being used,
and what challenges there are that can be solved using analytics. It
can also be useful to keep up to date generally with advancements
in the field of data analytics because there may be some digital
solutions being used in other industries that have applicability in my
industry. Another way I will prepare is by continually refreshing my
skills and learning new ones. Currently I am proficient in SQL,
MATLAB, and Python. However, I can expand my skills in these
areas by experimenting with new toolboxes and taking on new
projects.
The trends of data analytics and data visualization are continuously
evolving in recent times. The move towards advanced data
visualization is one of the trends that will have an impact on my
profession. The standard visualization frameworks like the line, bar
and pie charts limit the amount of data that can be represented
before the target audience (Bilal et al., 2016). A number of
significant insights remain hidden and untapped below the pie, bar,
and line charts. The rise in the complexity of businesses has
increased the demand for advanced or 3D data visualization. This
trend will enable me to reveal a lot of geospatial information, drive
productivity, and increase my overall performance. It will also help
me in uncovering new opportunities. The use of advanced data
visualization will facilitate the representation of complex structures
as well as diverse data types to the target audience. It will also help
me to explore the “what if” questions and find appropriate answers
to them. However, in order to benefit from the trend, I need to
enhance my knowledge and skills to effectively use advanced data
visualization tools.
Testing benchmark is another popular data analytics trend that is
likely to have a significant impact on my profession. There is no
single benchmark that is suitable for different types of workload
cases. This increases the demand for unique testing benchmarks.
The development of benchmark testing for a specific application will
benefit my profession. It will enable me to select the right data
benchmarks on the basis of the particular type of architecture or
systems and the workload (Kolajo et al., 2017).
Engineering decision intelligence is another trend that will impact
my profession. It changes the traditional way of how decisions are
made. It will help to make better decisions in my profession and
thereby ensure more positive outcomes (Top Trends in Data and
Analytics for 2021, 2021). It will help me achieve the set goals,
increase performance, and ensure greater success.
