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.

Data storytelling will be bigger than data itself

January 14, 2015 by Ted Cuzzillo

I heard an IBM marketing vice president say last summer, “Storytelling will be huge.” I think so, too. But what are data stories?

The big question on the table was what it would take for BI to break out of its miserable five percent penetration into business? Two regulars at the Pacific Northwest BI Summit — Harriet Fryman, IBM vice president of portfolio marketing, big data and analytics, joined Claudia Imhoff, founder of the Boulder BI Brain Trust and well known author — to consider the problem at last summer’s event.

Vendors tell us that data stories are whatever they’re selling.… Read the rest “Data storytelling will be bigger than data itself”
