What risks and opportunities do businesses face as a result of the current state of data and information overload?

“Companies today have more data to drive decision-making; they have to ask the most critical and outlier questions. If companies are only working within the present framework of risks and rewards, they may miss what’s ahead. So it’s imperative to be thinking about future scenarios and how to capitalize on changes. I also see opportunities for companies to evolve under the current conditions of uncertainty. Building stories using accurate and robust data and employing data for social good is exciting and necessary. We all know data is important, but if you can’t make sense of it, it won’t help. Data is a crucial part of how to address today’s most urgent issues, as well as how we approach solutions and actionable, longer-term strategies.”
