Re: blasted business
I love this quote. I've heard it so many times and it applies to so many different situations, so I don't mind. In this case, it is just as relevant as those others.

Re: Big Data Partnering
@Anna I'd look at that as a threat matrix... but adapt it into a speed matrix. What is the fastest route to take? As Ben discussed in yesterday's webinar, even bringin vendors in requires 'ramp up' time - so you need to know what you would benefit from (as usual) - but also envision how it will impact your overall speed. Will it deccelerate you in the short term but result in an overall higher top speed?

Big Data Partnering
When planning Big Data project, I suppose it's easier and more straightforward identifying and bringing in employees from the company but at what point in the project should an enterprise involve external stakeholders such as suppliers and joint venture partners? What are the likely concerns from the IP perspective and what's the best strategy for addressing those potential hiccups on the way?

Supernova Heights
Interesting HR point from @Ben here, "You will find that developers can go supernova for about two months at the most before it becomes too much, and you'll need to dial things back."
I wonder if this is often the first consideration to go out the window when pressure comes from on high to get the data doing what it is supposed to. There must be a lot of great staff who burnt out and became disillusioned on the back of more than two months expending the brilliant white light of that supernova's energy.

Re: blasted business
@Keith - yep, huge parallels here with the digital 'goldrush' in many eras. Defined goals is the just the first step though... crucial as it is, to seeing those results.

Re: blasted business
@legalcio and the next step is for this ill definition to result in the C level losing patience with the big data operation. What Ben's pragmatic advice here offers are ways to ensure that those first signs of ROI are seen as quickly as possible. Not just to the data team, but in a way that the proof can be shown up the chain - resulting in more patience, more investment, and bigger results (we all hope)!

Re: blasted business
@legalcio '...they don't know what they don't know...'
Sorry, but I have to quote from my favourite quote from one of your fellow Americans - Donald Rumsfeld (Feb 2002):
There are known knowns;there are things we know that we know.
There are known unknowns; that is to say there are things that, we now know we don't know.
But there are also unknown unknowns; there are things we do not know, we don't know.
I'm sure you get fed up with it, but I think it relevant to so many situations!!

Re: blasted business
@Saul '...go and get it...' sounds a bit like the early days of web sites when everyone was told they needed a web site!
So they went out and got one, and.........nothing!!
Because no-one knew what to do with them when they got them!!
Hope that is not the case here - though doubtless there will be a few!
