- There is a significant change in the role that data
plays in our activities.
- Although the term big data is often used to describe
this change, it's not just about how much data we are looking to use.
- You may want to think of "big" applying to the importance of
data - that data is playing a bigger role in our lives. Or just
don't try to read "big data" literally.
- Big data is term that's generated a lot of hype. But
I think it's important to resist our usual aversion to hype in
this case - there is a significant change in thinking that's happening.
- This shift forces us to change many long-held assumptions
about data. It opens up new opportunities, but also
calls for new thinking and new skills.
- This deck explores my take on this change.
