Workshop Introduction

Big Data has been gaining increasing popularity of late and for a very good reason, the benefits it can bring to various types of organisations are enormous. Improved decision making, better customer service and, consequently, increased profits are just some of the many. A report from the World Economic Forum in 2012 clearly emphasises its importance by saying that '…. personal data will be the new “oil” - a valuable resource of the 21st century ….'.

This workshop will cover what is Big Data, how to start with it and who should be the people responsible.

The workshop is intended for middle and senior business managers.
