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). f 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. f 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.
