30 years ago we were in search of the
basic tools
• Lack of transactional data –
surveys, surveys and more surveys
• Latency issues

• Storage and computing power –
remember the days of megabytes or
sharing a PC with other team
members
• Analytic methods – descriptive at
best
• … fragmented views of the truth that
lacked foresight in most cases
4
30 years later these issues have been solved
for (and now replaced with others)
• Transactional data on steroids
• Storage and processing power – our head is now in the
clouds
• Analytic capabilities that allows us to filter, determine
casualty and be prescriptive and proscriptive
• …. However we are still struggling to get to a complete
view, determine causality and have the ability to
possess foresight

5
The challenging news is that accomplishing our primary
mission is still difficult – and the current environment is
forcing us to up our game

BIG DATA DEMANDS BIG INSIGHT:
Companies must sift through huge quantities of data
to arrive at actionable insight

GROWING GLOBALIZATION:
Information is massively connected,
created and consumed everywhere

PROLONGED ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY:
Continued uncertain financial outlook is forcing
businesses to do more with less

DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE:
Businesses must embrace new but quickly adopted
social, mobile, local and cloud technologies
6
Dilbert may not need actionable insights…
relying on other factors

7
But our real customers continue to ask more
difficult questions and expect innovation to outpace
their need

8
The solution - Big Data? Absolutely, but what we really
need is Big Insight

90% of the world‟s
data was created in
the last 2 years
2.7 billion “likes” &
30 billion pieces of
content are posted
on Facebook daily

250 billion emails
are sent
everyday

2.5 exabytes of data
created everyday – almost
2 zeta bytes/year = 200
billion high definition movies

Every hour enough
information is
consumed to fill 7
million DVDs

Big Data

75% of digital
information come
from individuals

85% of this data
is unstructured

Data is growing by a
minimum of
50%/year

More data crosses
the internet every
second than the
amount that was
stored on the net 20
years ago

9
Data just Data DATA!
It‟s notData aboutDATA!

10
Math Math about MATH!
It‟s not just Math MATH!

How to manage
world class
supply chain?

Where to invest?

It’s about making
better business
decisions

How do to
optimize sales &
marketing
investments?

How to target
better?

How to minimize
my risk?
11
11
Put simply, there are three levels of insight required
along your journey to informed perspective

“I need foundational
business insight.”

“I need integration of assets and
transactional data.”

I See You

I Know You

Global Data
Completeness

Multi-Lingual
Identity
Resolution

“I need predictive insights
on-demand.”

I Can Predict
Your Behavior
Predictive
Analytics

Transparent Relationships
Insight for Decisions

12
So we have evolved our strategy with a focus
on providing actionable insight

Propritary
Business
Activity
Signals
Social Media

Complete
Transparency in
Business
Real Estate
Relationship
Transactions

Innovating and expanding data
collection will result in:
3rd Party
Business
Activity
Signals

Logistic –
Shipping &
Delivery

 Linking together relationships
between trading partners to see a
complete supply chain
 Identifying the “heartbeat” of a
business, predicting its future
health, and rapidly seeing changes
 Deeper insight based on signal
patterns to anticipate the future
behavior of a business
 Understanding the true size of a
business in multiple
dimensions, including social
influence beyond its balance sheet
13
And this evolution includes leveraging new data assets
and predictive insights

Identifying unique drivers, root causes, and
sensitivities that lead to specific types of outcomes
is also critical

Big disparate

…compiled, analyzed, and
correlated with other

Advanced analytics can identify businesses that
are poised for growth, and anticipate customers‟
progression across the business lifecycle

Foresight into future needs enables
you to take the best action at the best time

Businesses can be
thought to have stages of ‘size’,
like caterpillars growing into butterflies
20
But in order to be successful we must systematically
tackle the needs of our customers

The winning hand is to incorporate science into
workflows in a systematic way….

Integrate

including
Transactional

Establish
complete

knowledge of
customers and
prospects

Transform
insights
into action
Virtuous

Inform
Focus on Creating an Informed Perspective for Customers
22
So we have developed a roadmap focused on a
systematic approach to providing customers the insight
they need

Provide Complete Transparency on Business Relationship:
•

Globally consistent data

•

Complete and actionable view

Provide Foresight To Execute Proactive Actions
•

Advanced analytics

•

Consultative support

23
30 years into my journey the speed of technological
change is still hard to comprehend

In 1995 there were 16 million internet users daily
24
Or predict what is next….

In 2013 there are 2.5 billion internet users daily – enabled by 1.5
billion smart phones (introduced in 2005!)
25
The real goal is to have a
complete, intimate, consistent and actionable
view of customers and prospects

I Know You

I Can Predict Your Future
Behavior, and Take
Action

I See You

ROBUST /
PREDICTIVE
DECISION SUPPORT
BASIC INFORMATION

As information matures, the ability to use it to drive different business activity evolves
26
We must embrace information that is rich, varied, and
full of opportunity and shift our focus from “hunting and
gathering” to new opportunities beyond just “Big Data”

Data sensing at the “Event Horizon”

27
The

future

belongs to

informed.
