Key note at Big Data Insight Forum - using Big Data to drive innovation across the enterprise. A different look at big data and how your organisation can drive real value now.
2. Many businesses are
‘institutionally analogue’: stuck in
structures and logistical
straightjackets that had an
obvious function and a rational
purpose fifty, twenty, even fifteen
years ago.

3. What we shall cover:
Some context of ‘big data’ and innovation
The bad stuff if you don’t….
The old world and current barriers
A solution – 4 key actions
A key to unlocking value today
Take away
17. Innovation.
• For an improved customer experience
• For product development
• For new / better markets
• For more operational efficiencies
18. Innovation is….
• The creation of ‘better’ or ‘more effective’
• A novel idea or method that is economically valuable
• Doing something different
Innovation is not….
• Invention
• R&D
20. If we don’t innovate?
• Our competitors will
• Startups will disrupt
• Someone will know your customer better than you
• Customers will exercise their power
21. So how do you use data to innovate?
Become cleverer…
understand your markets &
technologies better.
23. Barriers to overcome – the old world
2. Our organisation
• Function and structure based on what we do:
sales, marketing, logistics, finance
• Efficiency focused within function
• Decision making based on ‘gut’, ‘instinct’ and
‘experience’
• ‘Its not our process’ --- ‘It is our process!’
• Lack of awareness of customer experience
24. Barriers to overcome – the old world
3. Data availability
• Based on functional systems and ‘data architecture’
• Bottom up, based on infrastructure & systems
• Slow, lacking in actionable insight, data
availability, quality, timeliness, governance
25. Barriers to overcome – the old world
4. A linear view of innovation
RESEARCH – DEVELOPMENT – ENGINEERING –
MANUFACTURING – MARKETING – DISTRIBUTION
• No feedback
• No data
• Divorced from customer
27. A solution to driving enterprise-wide
innovation across the enterprise

and insight you need
• Be Innovative: Agility. Iterative. Challenging.
• Find responsibility!

Vendors – everywhere. Telling us we are struggling under a volume of data – are we?
Lots of talk.Lots of definitions.And some early adopting innovators.
Lots of change taking place, perhaps not in our business.Waiting for inspiration?But we need to work at this.
Finding a needle in a haystack?Not much fun.
Would rather decide what questions I wanted to answer to gain value and how this insight might help me.
And then create the environment to gain value.
The benefits of innovation we keep hearing about.
But lets be clear about what it is, we can’t use big data to innovate – unless we know the ingredients.
It requires the knowledge economy – plus insight.
Much of this is happening today. ShoppingNewsPayments – credit cards.InvoiceASAP.Tradeshift
Traditional Consumer Decision model. Nice and linear.
Most of our data is transactional. Limited in knowledge, quality, join, and access.
This is latent in the experience of the customer, it is not CRM, it is the frictionless, relevant, and pervasive experience that is the result of insight driven innovation. Products, services, experience, markets.
Not information architecture, not business architecture. Architecture to understand, learn, and communicate with the customer.
The Associate of Product Management and Product Marketing says that more than 50% of new technology products that enter the market fail and roughly 75% of consumer packaged goods & retail products fail to earn even $7.5 million during 1st year.
With a connected and multi-networked world- this is vital market research that informs innovation.
Understand & select the most appropriate data to paint a full picture of what the customer wants and needs.Without a platform to manage and nurture every interaction with the consumer, a company has no core.The customer touches our processes – not our operations or systems. Insight only comes from a view of the whole picture. Vodafone.Panasonic camera sold, found later on John Lewis cheaper. Contacted Panasonic, said it was customer responsibility to shop around.
Why does a product or service we create will make people’s lives easier, better, or more fun – rather than starting with how it might just contribute to the bottom lines. We would see more successful business innovation.Insurance App – internal data being used to increase relationship and value.Video self help – creating value, insight, and more analyisisNHS – creating transparency of services and information. Costs vsservcie in the community.Stonegate pubs. Customer insight – feedback, servcice.

In order to do everything we have discussed – and create the insight. You need the data. Big data is about having the right data, and the ability to make it available.
