Businesses now collect so much data that the resulting insights can not only describe customer behaviour in the present, but predict what it will look like in the future as well.

You probably don't have big data, and you really don't need it. So long as you have a good MAP implemented, you can take advantage of all these benefits. It just requires a bit of smart upfront work.

Big data is becoming increasingly practical & critical in B2B, with maybe less focus on statistics & more on meaningful usage, to optimise leads & predictive behaviours. Who has concrete case studies about it ?

" Luca Naso's insight:Collecting lots of data isn't just about making more accurate Netflix recommendations.
Rather than just judge us on what we say in an eight minute consultation with our GPs, maybe they'll be able to pull up our health data and analyse it properly?
Scientists would be able to more easily identify the effects and side-effects of different treatments, and more quickly develop and bring new treatments to patients.
Of course - there is one awkwardly massive downside to this. Privacy concerns. " |
And to Predicitve analysis!
Predictive analytics, or the ability to make accurate predictions, is based on good data and good algorithms. Every sensible data scientist knows this. It's good to see that this knowledge is spreading. Data alone, no matter how big, cannot give the right answers.
I believe that useful predictive analytics gives *accurate* predictions, not *exact* predictions. Predictive analytics which gives exact predictions is used in Science, not in Business.
