Free-the-data movement meets privacy

January 10, 2017 by Ted Cuzzillo

Back when data was little and simple, self-service analysis advocates started the chant, “Free the data!” IT stood in the way, they said. Fast forward to 2016: “democratized data” has become common, but so has public concern over privacy.

That nettlesome struggle drove a discussion that now stands as the data industry’s’ most important discussion of 2016. Around the conference table at last summer’s Pacific Northwest BI Summit — the annual, invitation-only confab held in Grants Pass, Oregon — two dozen data leaders pondered the issue for almost two hours.

That’s the kernel of Blake Johnson’s advice to organizations who want to make use of data. He’s a Stanford University consulting professor and a Teradata academic. He has become a scholar of data analysts and data scientists.

“The whole idea of the unwashed masses having access to the data is totally new to some execs,” he told me last week. “A lot of people on the IT side still don’t buy it.”

I thought access to the masses had worked its way into the IT mind.… Read the rest “Create value with data by ending IT’s sequestration”
