How ‘big data’ is transforming business — from McKinseyQuarterly.com

Excerpt:

Right now at your own company, it’s quite possible that sensors in process machinery are collecting operational data, marketers are using location data from smartphones to demystify teenagers’ buying quirks, and data exchanges are creating networks with your supply chain partners. As an explosion of data transforms processes, corporate ecosystems, and approaches to innovation, it’s important to remember that new technologies and tools raise productivity not only because companies adopt them but also, more critically, because they enable new management practices and organizational structures. So in this month’s newsletter, we highlight a package of articles that can help executives navigate the era of big data.

Interesting item on multiple screens vs. transmedia [Matthews]

On 07/27/2011, in 21st century, A/V -- audio/visual, health, marketing/social marketing, mirroring and/or multiple devices, mobile technologies, television, by Daniel Christian

Quoting from Transmedia vs Multi-screen Distractions — by Michael Matthews at Forbes.com — which provides an example of how multiple devices are starting to work with each other:

In Canada, the Food Network and Paperny Films integrated mobile strategy into the release of a new TV series called Eat St. The TV show launched simultaneously with an iPhone app of the same name. The app offered location-based services linking users to vendors featured on the show as well as thousands of others across North America. The app gives fans a deeper experience — they can find carts in their cities and begin accessing them. This digital integration worked two ways: fans of the app could check out the TV show, and fans of the show were introduced to the app.

Swedish Online Store Features Live, Interactive Salespeople [VIDEO] — from Mashable.com
Excerpt:

Swedish telecom company 3 Sweden has bridged the gap between Internet commerce and brick and mortar with 3LiveShop. The new site features employees interacting with customers, live, over videoscreens. As the video above shows, the Chatroulette-like site was made possible with custom-built touchscreens that look like they’re right out of The Minority Report. Using the screens, the online salespeople are able to bring up images of phones the company sells and field questions about them.

 

 

 

 

 

Questions/reflections from DSC:
If this does turn out to be the case:

  • Should students have a solid comfort level with technology in order to be marketable in the future?
  • What changes do we need to make to our curriculums — at all levels — to insure their success in this type of world?
  • Will this setup be similar for the online teachers/professors out there?
  • Will this type of setup lead to incredible levels of individualized attention? Or will such services only be for people who can afford this level of personalized attention?
  • What changes will the corporate world need to make to incorporate this type of channel?
  • Will this offer 24x7x365 access, with certain call centers either online 24 hours a day, or different call centers spread throughout the world coming online and offline in synch w/ each other?

Interesting way to present a case study…[Jack & Suzy Welch]

Originally saw this at:
BizDeansTalk.net

 

From DSC:
I appreciated the variety of clever interface elements at play here. Worth checking out just from an interface design standpoint, if not from a standpoint of relaying/processing information in a creative way (as well as discerning the critical business-related items/decisions).
