Summary – Key Messages

Big data is useful if you can get to something that the end user can understand and results into action…for all this, you do need to know your business well.

A systems approach is key in solving real world problems using big data…partnering where needed and solving the problems together is more effective than taking a narrow approach.

Need to understand organizational implications with all aspects of data…right from getting the data to implications of decisions made from data.

Opportunities in embedding prescriptive analytics model in business processes and applications…innovative products and services are being created to transform how we do business.
