This document discusses the rapid pace of technological change and innovation. It notes that what seems impossible today in terms of data and computing power will be commonplace just a few years later. A list of technologies from the past 200 years shows how innovation has transformed industries and liberated women from domestic work. The document outlines several emerging technologies like robotics, AI, and context computing that will drive the next industrial revolution. It argues that business, data, and platform models are all changing due to new technologies and the shift to mobile, cloud, big data.

complexity, wont be five
years further down the
road.

Wrong.

Business Model Has Changed
No longer all employee now includes
contractors, partners, vendors
No longer all on premise there is no
perimeter
Data Model Has Changed
No longer mostly structured now
largely unstructured
Platform Model Has Changed
No longer strictly enterprise (e.g.,
mainframe, client / server) now
includes mobile, cloud, big data
platforms

25. Analytics is not about
trying to use the
numbers to prove a
theory but to see what
the numbers actually
tell us
26. A Game of Two Halves
89% of shots on goal produced
from corner kicks are wasted.
The team that shoots more
actually wins less than half the
time
The team that gets to shoot first
has won just over 60 % of the
contests.
The best defence will win a
championship 46% of the time,
with the range, from a low of 40
% in the English Premier League
and La Liga, to a high of 55 % in
Italy
27. The future is already
here. Its just
unevenly distributed.
William Gibson
#22: Sensors exist everywhere on Earth, as well as above and below it. Instead of killing canaries in mines, we now use sensors to detect problems and alert people.
#26: Soon, students wont understand why an advanced analytics environment and a data environment were ever separate. They wont differentiate between a storage environment and a data analysis environment
Data is irrelevant without being put into context and put to use. Within a big data feed there will be some information that has long-term strategic value
In football, goals are rare and draws are common. That combination makes setting odds in football much more difficult, and makes favourites less likely to win.
Analytics is not about trying to use the numbers to prove a theory, but to see what the numbers actually tell us, to discover if our beliefs are correct, and if they arent, to inform us what we should believe instead.
