The era of Big Data presents exciting opportunities for leveraging analytics to create competitive advantage and new sources of revenue. To maximize business value, however, an enterprise must innovate in the context of good governance models to avoid technology projects for the sake of technology. In this workshop we describe a framework developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for maximizing business value with the right combination of innovation and governance. We will examine new scenarios for monetising from Big Data sources. We will also explore opportunities for exploiting non-traditional data types from both internal and open data sources.
In this seminar, you’ll learn about:
- new sources of data and how to exploit them
- how innovative enterprises are monetising from Big Data sources
- how to get the right balance between innovation and good governance.

About our Seminars
We offer time-poor executives and managers short seminars of 1-2 hours on current, topical and visionary subjects in the domain of data analytics. Stephen Brobst, CTO Teradata, has produced a diverse range of seminars that he can present to your staff at your premises. We may also occasionally run these as public seminars.
Stephen frequently delivers keynotes at large conferences and is equally comfortable with business and/or technical audiences in smaller industry, organisational or user group meetings. Multiple seminars can be scheduled for one day. Stephen is experienced in both computer science via his MIT PhD work, and is also well versed in business management through his MBA work in a joint program between the Harvard Business School and the MIT Sloan School of Management.
