I would also add that in order to be successful with Big Data, domain expertise is necessary. Domain knowledge is the human intelligence that accumulates within a certain practice or process and is necessary to genuinely know which data from all the possible sources is valuable and which is not. This aspect of Big Data is the primary reason why opportunities around Big Data require business unit personnel to lead rather than follow more than every before.

This could be connecting feature usage with internal resourcing decisions or connecting a completed transaction with a chargeback, indicating fraud. The closer these events the easier it is to get some insight; so connecting a search all the way through to a purchase is a lot more difficult than linking certain transaction characteristics with fraudulent activity.

I am going to think about the phrase “sometimes it’s more important to know what to kill.” Realization of how to ask a question is critical to finding an answer.
