10 Big Data Stories You Shouldn’t Miss this Week

“The biggest issue for governments today is how to be relevant. If all citizens are treated with dignity and invited to collaborate, it can be easier for administrations to have a direct finger on the pulse of the nation rather than lose it in transmission through multiple layers of bureaucracy”.

This week has seen several landmark announcements at the intersection between big data and bureaucracy. Firstly, we discovered that the first Prime Minister to use big data to secure a win, Narendra Modi, continues to innovate in his position of power. His office is using sophisticated big data analytics techniques on the mygov.in portal to ascertain public opinion in key areas of policy, in a move which has been described as a blueprint for future democracy.

Whilst India move towards big data adoption, the EU continue to be wary. A landmark ruling in the European Parliament this week voted to “break up” Google, and separate its search functions from its other revenue streams. Whilst the European Parliament lack the autonomy to implement this ruling, it sends a strong and clear message to Google that the EU remain disdainful of their business practices. The UN also approved “The Right to Privacy in the Digital Age”, keeping data privacy and ethics firmly on the agenda.

There are plenty of resources that offer descriptions and guides on the career of a data scientist. I’ve heard them described as those at the intersection of statistics, hacking abilities, and domain expertise. Or, as data analysts who live in San Francisco.

SmashedWhy Organizations Need a Data Strategy

One of the most important tasks that a Data Architect is often asked to help with is the creation of an Enterprise Data Strategy.

Unfortunately, one great idea does not make a successful company. When it comes to founding a data science startup, a visionary idea is essential, but so is hiring the right team, gaining an in-depth knowledge of your market, and putting in place the best business practices to help your idea flourish. And then of course there’s funding.
