What is big data?
The McKinsey Global Institute report Big data:  The next frontier for innovation, competition, and productivity (May 2011) is a relatively well-informed and hype-free description of the opportunities presented by Big Data.  They define Big Data as &#8220;datasets whose size is beyond the [...]]]></description>

Why would I — who sell my research and advice to companies on things related to threat, early warning, and shifting trends — publicly acknowledge this [...]]]></description>

Particularly in these stressed economic times in which we seem mired for the foreseeable future, the &#8216;quest for value&#8217; is a search that most of us pursue, in both our personal and professional lives, almost [...]]]></description>

After spending over a year researching the economics of the health care industry, I’ve concluded that health care is its own economic Wonderland.  If you were given the hypothetical task [...]]]></description>
