The document discusses perspectives on personal data and its use in the modern age. It notes that most organizations currently have little capability for big data, while most data is now created through machine interactions rather than direct human input. Personal data can be volunteered, observed, or inferred without individuals' awareness. Data only has value when combined with context and understanding to create knowledge and identify patterns. New perspectives are needed that engage individuals in understanding how their data creates value and that balance innovation and individual protection. Social media is discussed as a way to influence others rather than just communicate. Equipping individuals with the same analytics tools as large companies/governments could help create mutual understanding and value across relationships.

According to IBM 90% of today's data
was created in the past two years.
Paucity of data marked the 20th Century.
Having too much of the stuff has rapidly become the
challenge and the opportunity of the 21st.

Personal data can be:
Volunteered my photos, my tweets,
my posts
individuals aware of the act of
public sharing, if not always
cognisant of the implications
Observed transaction history,
location data, web visits
individuals not currently aware of
the depth or breadth of
observation
Inferred through data analysis,
data combination, data
mining
individuals largely ignorant and
powerless; perhaps suspicious

Data has no value of itself
A collection of data is not information – for that
it also requires context and understanding.
A collection of information is not knowledge.
We must build knowledge from information by
identifying and interpreting patterns.

If data has no value of itself, alone...
If data is intangible and can be replicated at negligible cost...

We don't have social media for media's sake but
to communicate.
We don't communicate for communication's
sake, but to influence.
Influencing and being influenced is part and
parcel of organisational life. Indeed, of life.

16. Mydata.Ourdata.
Social business entails designing an organisation
around such influence flows, connecting
everyone involved in its success, connecting all
the data, information and knowledge all around
it, more openly, productively and profitably,
with the application of social web, big data and
related information technologies.

17. Mydata.Ourdata.
And because those influence flows are in
constant flux, the design of the organisation
is too.
Critically, the organisation is no longer
defined as the sum of its payroll either.

19. Mydata.Ourdata.
CRM and social analytics today aren't customer-
centric. ey are an organization-centric view of the
customer.
When an organization augments the customer record
with its perceptions and conceptions, it increases the
number of misperceptions and misconceptions.

20. Mydata.Ourdata.
"In apparently attempting to put the customer first, it has amassed
all this high tech weaponry on its side of the table to lend it
microscopic visibility of its relationship with the customer, leaving
the customer with nothing like the equivalent capability. e
customer is adri, uncertain of what the company knows or, more
accurately, thinks it knows, and is unable to find out. Just as social
media was rebalancing the relationship, the balance of power has
gone against the customer again and he knows it. Or at least feels it
and lives with the consequences."
Attenzi, Chapter 60

21. Mydata.Ourdata.
Business is the activity of creating mutual value the
consequence of which is profit.
'Social' is the activity of nurturing relationships, mutual
understanding and collaboration to improve business.
So what better way to achieve this than to equip
individuals with the same data and analytics tools Big Co.,
and Big Government have equipped themselves with.

VRM – vendor relationship management
ink of VRM as the other side of the CRM coin.
Longer term, we should seek to equip and empower and
liberate the individual across all her roles in life –
customer, citizen, employee, vendor, supplier, investor,
family member, friend, custodian of the planet, etc.
