Data Divination: Big Data Strategies focuses entirely on strategy, from how to accurately calculate ROI, present a winning business case and empower your workforce from the CEO down, to developing overall and project-specific strategies that actually work.

Beyond the chapters that address specific steps and elements in developing successful big data strategies are ten chapters each dedicated to a specific industry. Those industries are governments; Department of Defense and Intelligence community; security; healthcare; small businesses and farms; energy; transportation; retail; banking, insurance and finance; and manufacturing.

In the chapters dedicated to specific industries, we examine real life use cases and case studies from several angles so you can see what works, what doesn't and why. There are suggestions on what players in those industries should consider doing beyond what they're doing now and in preparation for upcoming changes being wrought by disruptors and industry trends that are already underway. Because so many industries are converging, Bob and I urge you to read about industries other than your own in this book. There are several trends underway now that will impact seemingly unrelated business sectors. You'll find the heads-up on that useful in your own big data works.

This book also mentions tools where necessary but its focus is on big data strategies. It's written primarily for a business audience but is also useful to the more technically inclined in sparking project ideas or in learning about what others/competitors in the same industry are doing with big data.

Finally, if you ever wanted to know the big picture in big data--where projects in 10 different industries ultimately come together in changing our world--you'll catch a great glimpse of it here. Show less
