Data is a new class of economic asset that will overshadow traditional punts like Gold, Silver, etc. And its dealers – Data Scientists – are typically professionals with a background in computer science or mathematics, as well as the analytical skills necessary to find the proverbial needle in a haystack of data generated by the corporation.
Big Data is the most amazing trend in modern computing, involving capture, curation, storage, search, sharing, transfer analysis and visualization of huge data sets. Due its scale of growth, and complexity of the modern business environment, Big Data is driving innovative approaches that are evolving as frequently as business challenges arise.
However, there is a huge disconnect between the ability to collect data and to understand patterns to make business decisions. McKinsey Global gauges that by 2018, the US alone will create 340,000 new Big Data jobs, but LESS THAN HALF will be filled because of short supply of experienced professionals. Add to that a need for at least 4 Million managers across all fields with the know-how to decipher and act on the pattern in Big Data to make effective choices.
