Knowledge can be public, yet undiscovered,
if independently created fragments are logically related, but never retrieved,
brought together, and interpreted.

“Imagine that the pieces of a
puzzle are independently
designed and created, and
that, when retrieved and
assembled, they then reveal a
pattern – undesigned,
unintended, and never before
seen.“

Big Data
Volume – Large amounts
Variety – Different types
Velocity – Constantly changing
Big Data needs Big Judgment
Having the right tools to create and
interpret data displays is also vital.
Half of all employees find that
information from corporate sources is
in an unusable format. The best
companies avoid this problem by
deploying improved information
filtering and better visualization.

• “Data scientists make discoveries while swimming in data.
• They are able to bring structure to large quantities of formless data and make analysis possible.
• They are creative in displaying information visually and making the patterns they find clear and compelling.”
The value of expertise is diminished in a world dominated by two trends:
the accelerating pace of innovation and the ubiquity of information.
July 2012
The goal must be to expand
ourselves beyond one field of
focus and use our improved
access to information to solve the
… challenges we face as an
interconnected, global society. I
believe the time is now…to
embolden those disruptive
individuals to help innovate our
way out of the significant
challenges our planet faces today.
