What is the Secret behind Netflix success?
• The company has vast amounts of data on the viewing habits of its 125
million subscribers, from which movies and TV shows they liked or disliked
to how long they watched an individual episode or how much they binged
a new series.
• Every pause and play; fast forward and rewind; user ratings; text analyses
on searches and reviews; even what shows were watched, at what times
and on which devices.
• This powerful data system creates a rich social system that influences the
movies and shows members see, based in part on which shows they’ve
liked in the past what other subscribers see and like.
• Netflix team puts all these data bits together, analyzing the patterns that
emerge to create a “persona” for each of their 137 million (and growing)
users.

transformational.
• Netflix is a huge technology whose analytics, algorithms, and
digital-streaming innovations have changed how customers
watch movies and TV shows.
• Building a platform that shapes what customers watch, not
just how they watch.

business decision making?
• Importance of big data in the business world
• Growing need for workers that are able to make sense of data
to look for trends and patterns, to ask questions of the data
and seek answers
• Whittle those data down into a handful of meaningful
insights.
