What Do We Do with
All This Big Data?
Fostering Insight and Trust in the Digital Age
A Market Definition Report
January 21, 2015
By Susan Etlinger

Introduction
Every day, we hear new stories about data: how much there is, how fast it
moves, how it’s used for good or ill. Data ubiquity affects our businesses,
our educational and legal systems, our society, and increasingly, our
dinner-table conversation. I had the opportunity to speak at TED@IBM
in San Francisco on September 23, 2014, about the implications of a
data-rich world, and what we can do as businesspeople, citizens, and
consumers, to use it to our best advantage.1
That talk, as well as this document, examines two themes that underlie
many conversations about data and technology that correspond to fears
that George Orwell and Aldous Huxley chronicled in their novels 1984 and
Brave New World. As the culture critic Neil Postman put it in his 1985 book,
Amusing Ourselves to Death:
What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What
Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book,
for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell
feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley
feared those who would give us so much that we would be
reduced to passivity and egotism. Orwell feared that the truth
would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would
be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Orwell feared we would
become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a
trivial culture.2
These two themes—irrelevance and narcissism on one hand (Huxley) and
surveillance and power on the other (Orwell)—anticipate modern fears
about the explosion of data in our personal and professional lives. As
individuals, we crave insight and convenience, yet we simultaneously fear
loss of control over our privacy and our digital identities.

Executive Summary
This document proposes an approach to better understand and address:
•	 How we extract insight from data
•	 How we use data in such a way as to earn and protect trust: the trust of customers,
constituents, patients, and partners
To be clear, these twin challenges of insight and trust will occupy data scientists, engineers,
analysts, ethicists, linguists, lawyers, social scientists, journalists, and, of course, the public for
many years to come. To derive insight from data while protecting and sustaining trust with
communities, organizations must think deeply about how they source and analyze it and clarify and
communicate their roles as stewards of increasingly revealing information. This is only a first step,
but it’s a critical one if we are to derive sustainable advantage from data, big and small.

[Report] What Do We Do With All This Big Data? Fostering Insight and Trust in the Digital Age

  • 1. What Do We Do with All This Big Data? Fostering Insight and Trust in the Digital Age A Market Definition Report January 21, 2015 By Susan Etlinger Edited by Rebecca Lieb Preview Only
  • 2. Introduction Every day, we hear new stories about data: how much there is, how fast it moves, how it’s used for good or ill. Data ubiquity affects our businesses, our educational and legal systems, our society, and increasingly, our dinner-table conversation. I had the opportunity to speak at TED@IBM in San Francisco on September 23, 2014, about the implications of a data-rich world, and what we can do as businesspeople, citizens, and consumers, to use it to our best advantage.1 That talk, as well as this document, examines two themes that underlie many conversations about data and technology that correspond to fears that George Orwell and Aldous Huxley chronicled in their novels 1984 and Brave New World. As the culture critic Neil Postman put it in his 1985 book, Amusing Ourselves to Death: What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egotism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture.2 These two themes—irrelevance and narcissism on one hand (Huxley) and surveillance and power on the other (Orwell)—anticipate modern fears about the explosion of data in our personal and professional lives. As individuals, we crave insight and convenience, yet we simultaneously fear loss of control over our privacy and our digital identities. Preview Only

  • 4. Executive Summary This document proposes an approach to better understand and address: • How we extract insight from data • How we use data in such a way as to earn and protect trust: the trust of customers, constituents, patients, and partners To be clear, these twin challenges of insight and trust will occupy data scientists, engineers, analysts, ethicists, linguists, lawyers, social scientists, journalists, and, of course, the public for many years to come. To derive insight from data while protecting and sustaining trust with communities, organizations must think deeply about how they source and analyze it and clarify and communicate their roles as stewards of increasingly revealing information. This is only a first step, but it’s a critical one if we are to derive sustainable advantage from data, big and small.
