SPACE Farm Artist's Program Continues Collaborating Online

Perry Beaumont is the head of data science at Distinguished Programs, a national insurance program manager in New York City. In his role, he analyzes data to improve business outcomes and provide product offerings to insurance consumers. Perry Beaumont is also a strong supporter of SPACE on Ryder Farm, a not-for-profit artists group operating out of a 225-year-old organic farm in Brewster, New York.

SPACE on Ryder Farm was originally created to offer young and new artists a chance to get together and share ideas and art through its residency program. With the onset of COVID-19, the task of collaborating in person became impossible. To continue creating connections, the SPACE team began the program Time and Space, Together Apart. This program allows visitors to take part in weekly webinars, hosted by SPACE alumni and team members. Recent topics have been hosted by experts in psychology, fashion, cooking, and natural healing.

For more on the SPACE on Ryder Farm’s virtual offerings, visit www.spaceonryderfarm.org.

The Future of Digital Finance

Data science pioneer and author Dr. Perry Beaumont is the head of data science at Distinguished Programs in New York City. At the firm, Dr. Perry Beaumont oversees numerous risk mitigation initiatives and evaluates new opportunities. Dr. Beaumont's latest book, Digital Finance: Big Data, Start-Ups, and the Future of Financial Services, explains some of the impacts the digital transformation is having on the financial sector.

A report from the professional services giant Deloitte explains some of the things on the horizon for finance in light of the digital age. One of the predicted trends is fewer businesspeople becoming comfortable with basic finance and eschewing financial services. As automation becomes the norm, simple tasks that were once esoteric are being automated and self-service will become the norm.

Another prediction is the failure of many companies to align and integrate their data with digital trends. Automation will improve many functions in finance, but some CFOs are unaware of the extreme data needs and technical difficulties that will be associated with that change. Waiting for leaders to follow in that kind of environment will prove catastrophic for some.

Big Data and Analytics - What it Might Mean to Democracy?

Data scientist Perry Beaumont’s profession involves using big data to lessen risk. An expert in his field, Perry Beaumont has written books on the subject and, recently, has been working on two research papers related to statistics and machine learning.

Big data (harvesting statistics) and analytics has become the end-all for big business in predicting human behavior. More than just a tool for predicting the behaviors of clients, customers, and end users, big data has come to influence the way in which these populations conduct business, from making hotel reservations to shopping for groceries. However, big data stands to greatly impact more than consumer choices in that it has been a tool used in business decisions and resource allocations.

Mining for information is part of most business analysis, since businesses have to know their constituency to reach them. However, the use of big data and analytics also has the potential to influence profitability, completely changing the tone of business operations.
