The document outlines a roadmap and strategies for rolling out a big data initiative. It discusses developing an initial investment plan, creating focus groups to identify use cases, scoping pilot programs, and defining a strategy to get approvals. The roadmap then involves production rollout, with pilots, analysis of results, and planning for recommendations before full production rollout. Governance models and understanding potential impacts on the business are also addressed.
