many have posited that recalcitrant IT departments, hidebound by a history of rigid organization, have been a bottleneck to the adoption of new technologies and, by extension, the ability to distill business value from data.We’ve also examined the potential and difficulties of analyzing big data, arguing that a new class of analyst, the data scientist, is on the rise in many organizations.
That may be part of the problem, rather than the solution.
I think this will be a major problem as big data moves into the mainstream. So many organizations struggle with IT getting data that is readily available in the organization, wait until 20 groups are pinging 2 data scientists, who by nature are slow and go down unnecessary rabbit holes to find the truth.
In reality, most businesses don't need all this data. They need to perfect using their current data to drive actionable results. Until they do that, there is no need to bring big data into the organization.
