9. Hidden truth
Most people discard their wearable
within a 6 month period.
See PWC report from 2014.
10. Data hypocrisy
That data gathering about your own
body isn’t another form of fashion and
cultural mimicry.
We are offering very little more than a
pedometer would but at 100 times the
cost.
11. Data hypocrisy
Because if you can’t answer the
question ‘how are you doing’ without
checking a device, there’s something
else going on.
13. The data ‘opportunity’
Let’s track your gym attendance, the
number of steps you take so we can
make sure everyone works to the
best of their potential.
14. Hidden truth
What you can guess from activity does
not translate into a perfect picture of an
employee’s ability to do great work.
Nor should it unless your job absolutely
depends on it.
15. Hidden truth
What if someone has cancer, AIDS
or another medium / long term
chronic illness.
An employee isn’t a liability by
default, it should always be an asset
first.
16. Data hypocrisy
Older people do great work, they
have helped you build your
company.
They are probably the ones coming
up with these policies.
19. Hidden truth
We spend too much, especially
using credit.
Even IKEA’s head of sustainability
says we have reached ‘peak stuff’.
Apple sales are shrinking for the first
time in 15 years.
20. Data hypocrisy
Banking apps that help me budget
rarely connect to any of the e-
commerce services we use
compulsively.
22. The data ‘opportunity’
Let’s track the elderly so we can
bring them care at the right time.
In-home care is very expensive.
Care homes even more.
23. Hidden truth
Older people want to stay at home
as long as they can but…
Nearly half of older people (49% of
65+ in the UK) say that television or
pets are their main form of company
See York Health & Wellbeing Study 2014
24. Data hypocrisy
Are we giving families an excuse to
‘monitor’ instead of doing the hard job
of caring, engaging and supporting an
ailing family member.
26. The data ‘opportunity’
Let’s track cars, buses, cyclists to tell
us when there is traffic and where it
is.
See Nominet Smart Cities Report September 2016.
27. Hidden truth
Chances are your city has too many
cars and not enough clean, reliable
public transportation options.
That’s it.
28. Innovation hypocrisy
Car lobbies are powerful and want to
keep you relying on an industrial sector
(steel, aluminium, semiconductors, etc)
that matters to sizing GDP no matter
what the fuel is or who is driving.
See the steel buyouts in the UK.
38. Data Brick
What if your home held locally, in a brick:
• Land Registry
• Room sizes
• Plans
• How wires were connected
• Aggregated anonymous energy consumption
• How to use appliances
• General maintenance log (what plumbers you used)
• Building insurance
• Tax agreements
39. Data Brick
And you create and eventually leave with:
• Who lives in the house
• Who visited you (care providers, etc)
• Other bills
• Data collected for billing purposes
• Stuff you own
• Insurance
• Mortgage information
• Contracts
40. Because data can also be
collective in a lateral way.
You may never meet your
community.
41. Question what is hiding behind your data.
Find out what behaviours are you really
enabling, good and bad.
Think about what is the alternative to using
your product.
In conclusion
42. Think about your data as unrelated to a
person.
Think about your data as small, local,
perhaps stuck somewhere.
Think about the people who have to
interact with it and their needs.
In conclusion
43. Data is a slave to use.
Use is a slave to experience.
Experience is a slave to culture.
Because
