Big Data - C-Suite and Research Community Still Fumbling
21st February 2014
As yet another report, from KPMG this time, shows that businesses still aren't managing their data effectively, Gartner suggests that the number of chief data officers is likely to grow rapidly, enabling companies to get to grips with challenges like predictive business performance metrics as well as security and fraud detection.

Information professionals wondering how to contribute their skills in all this could take a lead from IFLA's concern about the intellectual property aspects of text and data mining, or from the scientific community, where University College London and Elsevier have just launched a Big Data Institute.

Facebook - Not Quite So Good for Business, Perhaps
11th February 2014

Even if this is overstating the case, Facebook is currently facing legal action over its use of personal data, on which its entire business model is based, at a time of increased public scepticism over advertising and marketing, and a growing recognition by individuals that their personal data is an asset to be managed. Further findings from Florida State University that Facebook has little value to recruiters in predicting job candidates' performance suggest that it is time for a reappraisal of the use of social media generally.
