"Big" Data: Making Sense of Our Connected World

Everyday we create thousands of data points by our actions, behaviors, choices and lives. Increasingly, organizations are discovering how to capture, consider, analyze, compare and leverage Big Data. Each time someone visits a website, makes a purchase, joins an effort, conducts a transaction or connects with a network data is created. Increasingly, even our bodies will create data that may have some meaning. OK, so how do organizations and leaders make sense of all this rapidly expanding Big Data. The challenges focus on Vast Data (dealing with an mind boggling amount of data); Speed of Data (how rapidly can we gather and leverage data); Truth of Data (it is interesting but is it true, real or trustable); and Strange Mix of Data (blending data from different and unrelated sources). Big Data will be deployed by organizations making marketing, human resource, educational, financial and strategic decisions. Elliott Masie will explore these topics in a highly interactive, humor filled presentation:

-Big Data What Do We Know About You?

-Big Data Making Sense of Random Bits of Truth?
