“Big Data – changing your business to take advantage of this revolution”
There is so much talk about Big Data, yet little practical advice to help organizations deal with it. 90% of all data ever created by the human race was created in the past two years alone – and the rate is accelerating. The real revolution, though, is that only the individual will be able to access all of his or her own data – companies must come to terms with this loss of control.
The session is for anyone seeking an understanding of the strategic and organizational impact of Big Data, and who wants to use it to real advantage.
You will learn what Big Data is, and how it impacts all businesses, their people and their organizations. Mick will offer strategies you can employ to deal with this data revolution. And, he will show how you can lead change in your organization, to embrace Big Data’s impact in all of your activities.
