16. NECESSARY FOR SUCCESS: THE LEADER
But asking Big Data the right questions isn’t just a new practice to
add to the management to-do list. Pulling it off requires a rethinking of
the manager’s role entirely. We’ve traditionally thought of
management as the discipline of managing people and
managing the business. Now it’s time to add “managing our
understanding” to the job description.
Ben Elowitz
CEO, Wetpaint
AllThingsD, 5/20/13
When it comes to dealing with Big Data, our skills haven’t evolved
as fast as our capacity. We all have a functional specialty, whether it
be content creation or distribution or sales or management — so
whose job is it to ask the right questions of the data? Big insights
and actions aren’t led by a data scientist; they are led by an
executive who has an integrated view of customers, products,
distribution and sales.
