Planning for big data – A special package from McKinsey

Companies can exploit big data and advanced analytics to improve their competitiveness, productivity, and decisions, yet actually realizing that promise is hard. The first requirement is a plan: not only a strategy but also a road map for investing in technology and data and for building commitment, reinventing processes, and changing the organizational culture.

"Big data: What’s your plan?" unifies insights from many real-world analytics projects to show you how to get started. After you read it, check out three related videos. In the first, McKinsey director Tim McGuire explains big data’s triple challenge: deciding which data to use, deploying analytics, and using its insights to transform operations. In a second video, McKinsey expert Matt Ariker focuses on the human element: developing skills; integrating new capabilities, people, and roles; and making the necessary changes in mind-sets and behavior. Finally, McKinsey expert Matthias Roggendorf presents the business case for such a profound data transformation.
