Ukrainian Dialogue Issue 03 Oct 2012 UKRAINIAN DIALOGUE 03 ISSUE The Paralympics How team Ukraine has already inspired a generation Room at the top The Ukrainians taking charge at multinational companies The art of curating David Elliott on organising the first Kyiv Biennale A PUBLICATION OF THE BRITISH UKRAINIAN SOCIETY 03/ LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN From the Chairman From the Chairman, Lord Risby It is with great pleasure that I introduce the restyled magazine Ukrainian Dialogue, the third edition of the British Ukrainian Society’s publication previously called Spectrum. I hope you enjoy reading about all the ways that Ukraine and its people contribute to politics, culture, business and education. This year has undoubtedly been an important one for Ukraine. From hosting the European Football Championship to its spectacular performance at the Paralympic games in London, Ukraine has gone from sporting strength to strength. There is much that ties our two countries together as evidenced by the vast array of articles included here. The first ever Kyiv Biennale held this summer was curated by the renowned David Elliott (see page 35), and the now fully-endowed Ukrainian Studies Programme at Cambridge University is the first of its kind in Europe. During this twentieth year of diplomatic relations, we also welcome a new British Ambassador to Ukraine, His Excellency Mr Simon Smith. Ukraine is a country not without its difficulties and controversy. It has been in the news often in recent months and with Parliamentary elections forthcoming, the world’s eyes are watching. It is accepted in both countries that there is still much to do in terms of judicial reform and members of the British and Ukrainian judiciaries will be seeking to take this forward in the year to come. For its part, the UK is committed to upholding its solid – if at times critical – relationship with Ukraine and is keen to guide and support its track into the European Union. No country in the EU is more eager to promote the success of Ukraine than our own. Looking forward, we will be holding a roundtable in November to discuss the October elections, and in early 2013 a notable individual will deliver our annual Yalta Memorial Speech. We look forward to welcoming you on these occasions.

The World Economic Forum, well known for its annual meeting in Davos, has formed a Global Agenda Council on Ukraine. Launched at a WEF gathering in Istanbul in June, the Council on Ukraine is part of a larger Network of Global Agenda Councils that brings together over 1,200 thought leaders to discuss key issues. Lord Risby, Chairman of the British Ukrainian Society, has been appointed Vice-Chair along with Pavlo Sheremeta, Chairman of the Blue Ocean Strategy Regional Institute in Ukraine. Together with former US Ambassador to Ukraine William Green Miller (1993-98), who will Chair the Council, and 15 other members including BUS director Robert Shetler- Jones, they will address issues such as Ukraine’s position in Europe, democracy and judicial reform, competitiveness and energy security. The World Economic Forum is an independent, not-for-profit organization, which aims to connect leaders from business, government and civil society to collectively tackle global issues. In 2008, the WEF launched the Network of Global Agenda Councils to find innovative solutions for key global, regional and industry challenges.

  • Big Analytics: Transforming Big Data Into Meaningful Information
    By Serhiy Haziyev, VP of Software Architecture, SoftServe Big Analytics: Transforming Big Data into Meaningful Information Thanks to widely adopted smart devices and the proliferation of cloud computing and SaaS business models, there’s never been a time when more is known about the behaviors and habits of customers, employees, patients, and stakeholders. We’re creating and storing more data than ever about every conceivable aspect of business and leisure. These vast volumes of data are the outcome of ongoing advancements in computing and data warehousing technologies, driven by an ever increasing wired and online population. The result is Big Data. Big Data attracts great interest across organizations and industries because of its potential used to derive greater understanding of past and present events to predict the future and prescribe actions to create desired outcomes. But Big Data alone can’t achieve these things; having the data isn’t enough. This is where analytics enters the discussion. Analytics are mathematic and statistic models used to gain insights to past, present, and future events through the analysis of data. Similar to Big Data having marginal use as a standalone solution, analytics has marginal use until its advanced models are applied to volumes of data. Analytics feeds on large volumes of data to create highly insightful and reliable information. Big Data and Advanced Analytics need each other to achieve great things. Big Analytics: Transforming Big Data into Meaningful Information 1 The Power of Big Analytics Big Data and Advanced Analytics combine to form Big Analytics; capturing and transforming vast amounts of data into meaningful and highly useful information to create more impactful decisions, actions, and outcomes: Retail.
