The powers and possibilities of big data
Last week I attended an event at NESTA about the powers and possibilities of big data, where Hans Peter Brondmo (Head of Social Software at Nokia), Haakon Overli (Managing Partner of Dawn Capital), Max Jolly (Director of Media Solutions at dunnhumby) and Megan Smith (General Manager of google.org and Vice-President of New Business Development) spoke about issues such as privacy (Nokia), investing in big data (Dawn Capital), using data to transform the way a business works (dunnhumby works with Tesco on their Clubcard), and channelling data for social good (google.org).
