“Data Centric Culture – Driving and Delivering Transformation”

‘Best of Consulting’, ‘Top Consultant’, ‘Top Innovator’ and ‘Leading Consulting Organization’ are just some of the awards and various other innovation prizes which demonstrate that Krish Krishnan and his delivery partners have delivered Sixth Sense Advisors Inc, into a leading consultancy boutique for data and analytics. Krish has headed this highly specialized company as a brilliant visionary and an unrelenting innovator since it was founded more than twelve years ago. He has made Sixth Sense a pioneer and a market leader in the world in the area of data and has established an innovative and a team-oriented corporate culture. Now, he is currently focusing on the topic of cloud data transformation. Together with his team, he is working towards becoming even more cutting-edge and even more innovative and readying Sixth Sense and its partners for the challenges to come.

"Innovation & Transformation Consulting, Business Consulting, Data Warehousing, Business Intelligence, Analytics, Social Media Analytics, Technology Analyst and Advisory, Blockchain, IOT, Mobile Analytics, Cloud, and Kubernetes"

Krish was early to grasp the challenges that companies would face with digital transformation. As data-driven organizations, they will be needing to analyze more data than ever before. Dirk reacted quickly and built up specific expertise in the data-centric transformation of business data at Sixth Sense and all delivery partners, alongside its business intelligence. ‘It takes good, consistent and carefully considered strategies to analyze large volumes of data. It’s a question of making complex matters accessible to decision makers and operational staff quickly.’

It is in precisely this area that Sixth Sense Advisors Inc is considered a pioneer thanks to Krish and his books on the Data Warehouses and Applications in the Digital Era and Big Data Era. The company has transformed some of the biggest and complex enterprises to digital and cloud, with privacy, cybersecurity, minimal data footprint, re-use of data and excellent metadata strategy.

Continuing professional development, work-life blending, leadership – strengthening the team with an innovative culture

‘Train people well enough so they can leave. Treat them well enough so they don’t want to.’ This Richard Branson quote succinctly encapsulates Krish’s understanding of innovative leadership. Employees and Consultants are nurtured from day one with coaching, training and innovation. Krish sees this as a win-win situation because an employee can boost their personal market value while the enterprise sales are strengthened. Lifelong learning and individual development are important strategies of Krish, and he trains teams whenever possible using content he created to provide them motivation and help them realize opportunities that exist.

How Krish deals with the topic of work-life blending likewise stands out. ‘These days, knowledge workers are presented with extremely diverse demands in terms of their working hours. We have therefore done away with rigid rules such as core working hours. At Sixth Sense Advisors Inc, we find an appropriate solution for everyone.’ In this way they have created a results-oriented work environment which is characterized by highly flexible working hours, additional leave and, for example, working from home – one step to create space for creativity and self-fulfillments.

Workplace democracy – shaping and advancing the company together

Krish is working on his next visionary project. He intends to rethink and update the company’s strategic focus to establish an even stronger corporate branding in the data and analytics market. ‘Sixth Sense Advisors is currently changing from within. Everyone can have their say regarding how we will work in the future and what we will do. The times in which the direction of travel was determined by the management alone belong to the past.’

As a part of the new vison, Krish is designing the data-on-demand, an agile platform for all data people in the world. In this way, a global virtual community will jointly advance innovation processes. Within each guild, teams can realize their own visions, devote themselves to promising topics and pitch for time and money in order to realize new products or services. This is entirely in keeping with what drives him on: ‘Creating a sustainable and strong platform for the world to do data and analytics properly by supporting their personal growth and career.’IE
