Why Big Data Will Survive the Hype and Change How We Work |
1:45 - 2:55pm |
Part 1: People - Organizing for Success. The people you need to win. Taking advantage of Big Data is a worthy objective. However it can't add value unless you've got a useful organization, the right people doing the right things. And it can't work if your company isn't prepared internally to take in new information and use it to make better decisions. Our 4 guest speakers, led by Corry Prohens, will discuss the ways companies need to organize to be successful and will speak to topics ranging from career paths to internal company communications and the role everyone plays in getting the insights from Big Data into the hands of business leaders. Moderator/Session Lead: Corry Prohens, Managing Consultant, IQ Workforce

Practical Application of Big Data: Marketing Attribution
Getting to the signals through the noise in social analytics As a consequence of too much data and too little signal in Social analytics, the disconnect between brands, agencies, and internal divisions within each are effecting both internal productivity and marketing ROI. Let’s explore how to bridge those disconnects and focus not just on big data but on the right data.
Desperately Seeking Signal The principles of data strategy are key to brand-building. From presidential candidates to content sites, winning brands successfully organize their resources around data strategy. By identifying key audience segments, understanding audience preferences, measuring response to different stimuli, brands can design an experience that fulfills both the customer need and the brands goals. However, there are many traps that can prevent an organization from becoming successful. Come and see how Conde Nast, an organization that has been successfully guided by editorial-intuition, is embracing data strategy and using it to create better experiences for our audiences.
Digital analytics for the rest of us Based on experiences from developing a leading data analytics and visualization platform for media sales, designers and editors, Gustav von Sydow shares his insights on creating addictive products for non-traditional users of analytics, and shows the customer and revenue impact of making the entire company data driven in everyday decisions. |
