Where do humans appear in big data? 3 stages
As Peter just said, start with the who? Data starts with a human. It is human interactions, human actions, that create a lot of the big data we refer to
But humans are also critical to the next phase of big data – the analysis – or the what of big data – humans are central to crafting stories and making use the numbers. At LinkedIn that team is called Insights, and the human touch is a core part of what we do
Finally, it’s about the why – why do we do anything with big data? Why go through the craft? It’s because there is an end user and big data should help them take an action – make a decision, spot an opportunity, do something
The amount of data we produce every day is truly mind-boggling. There are 2.5 quintillion bytes of data created each day at our current pace, Over the last two years alone 90 percent of the data in the world was generated.
Ho much is that? If a billion has 9 zeros, a quintillion has 18 zeros
More than 3.7 billion humans use the internet (that’s a growth rate of 7.5 percent over 2016).
On average, Google now processes more than 40,000 searches EVERY second (3.5 billion searches per day)!
Stats on LinkedIn: engagements, etc.
How do you better understand your customers?
And reach them
You must bring human intuition to data analysis
Big data is just rows and columns but we make sense of it through coding languages, like this screenshot of SQL code
The role of your Insights/Analytics team is critical. Can they bring a clear understanding to the data to capture what is needed
Humans give big data meaning
Storytelling
They need to understand human behavior and how humans operate
How does your data organization do its job?
Can you expand data capabilities to more people?
Amalgamate different sources: use 3rd party and internal, combining more with customer data
Data starts with a human, it is best interpreted and given meaning by humans, and finally it is best actioned and utilized by humans
Big data enables the end user to make better decisions (tie to storytelling)
3 core areas where we support decision-making: Audience, Content, Measurement
Big data and creativity are a powerful combination
