4. • to get closer to the KNOWLEDGE of SCIENCE (because of technology)
• to create fake news, theories,... accompanied by “facts” (easy to obtain nice pictures)
It has never been so easy ...

è There is a risk no one will believe in data in the future (many people
discovering wrong applications)

5. My mission, where I put a lot of passion
INSPIRE the use of Statistics by sharing visual
applications with little mathematical theory
Examples:
1. Industry: Sharing successful applications of Statistical Engineering
2. School: Include Statistics in INSPIRA programme for girls
3. Media:
a. There is business if you Invest in solving problems!!!
b. Statistical Thinking in popular topics

10. 2-SCHOOL: Include Statistics in INSPIRA programme for girls
Volunteer at INSPIRA Program:
• To inspire girls (11 years old) to think in STEAM
professional works
• Change gender stereotypes
• INSPIRA has a methology
• In addition to INSPIRA, I show teachers/students of
different ages “different Math” with my statistical
experiences and present them my ENBIS awards.

Schools, Universities must train how to get VALUE from tools
You must have
INTENTION when you
look at the DATA with
noise and
CONTEMPLATE with
patient

12. Target audiences: Managers. They put money to invest in Statistics
• Diagnostics: Fight against the impact of variability
• Save costs with DOE
• Apply IFT to anticipate to machine failures
• Train, train, train,..
è change habits and will make business!!
