This document discusses big data and its future. It notes that companies focus on revenue generation from data while data lakes remain underutilized. Academics are creating open source tools to empower individuals with data. Autonomous convergence of data is vital for economic advantage. Big data has value through accumulation, abstraction, autonomy and simulation. Its value comes from diversity, velocity and profiles of data. Continuous learning is important to understand big data's impact and value over time. Being prepared for the future of big data will involve staying ahead in this evolving field.

1. Big Data
autonomous convergence

2. State of the state
• Companies are creating through the narrow focus of
revenue generation
• Data Lakes /oceans are landlocked
• Academics are creating open source tools
• Individuals must be empowered with open source
data lakes
• Autonomous convergence is vital to economic
advantage

3. Presumption
• It’s an art
• It’s a science
• It’s magic to anyone outside the theater
• Presumption is built into everything we do

4. What do you want to be
when your grow up
• Mathematician - Modeling
• Programer - Modeling pathways
• Philosopher - Modeling questions
• Empowered individual data avatar

5. What does this mean for you?
!
Continuous education and
discovery

6. How should you value
Big Data and it’s future?

7. 4 Quadrants

8. Quantify value
• Accumulation - Building a sea of objects
• Abstraction - Moving data to the end points
• Autonomy - Creating dynamic focus
• Simulation - Dynamic probability testing

9. 3 Vectors

10. Triangulate value
• Diversity - Discrete data feeds (IoT)
• Velocity - From realtime to simulations
• Profiles - Focal points: People, places, markets

11. The whole story
Google Car

12. The needle in
a haystack
When every piece of hay
knows the needle doesn't
belong, it can no longer hide

13. Executive
movement
What is the impact of an
executive moving from
company X to Y?
!
How will your relationship to
both change?

14. Beyond
privacy
In subtraction we stand out
!
We need to think of ways to
secure our virtual reality
!

15. What if we don’t like the
options?
• Being ahead of the game is
just the start of this chess
game
• Being ahead of countless
virtual games is the future
• Picking your game is the
challenge now
