A looming reality for HPI practitioners, big data analytics cut across traditional silos that have separated performance improvement, information technology, and data science. This interactive session will share results of a systematic literature review that investigated the emerging use of big data in the workplace. Participants will also practice using a cause analysis model to identify opportunities to use big data to close performance gaps. Join us for a fun and dynamic conversation about HPI’s role in this emerging phenomenon.
After this session, participants will be able to:
- Define big data.
- Identify causes of performance gaps that may lend themselves to big data solutions.
- Identify potential big data applications for HPI practitioners.
