Hosted by IBM at the Waltham, MA IBM Innovation Center Big data introduction by Bruce Weed, IBM Program Director for big data
I talked about how we all tap the power of big data every time we use LinkedIn.
I gave examples of power-mapping (finding and prioritizing influencers on a target) using big data and LinkedIn. Applications for nonprofits, NGOs and social impact businesses included resource development, advocacy, building access and influence, communications, marketing, partnerships and beyond.
Bruce Weed shared examples of big data use from across sectors - government, commercial, humanitarian. Bruce also gave us background and history, tutorial on enabling technologies and a look over the horizon to what is coming.
Anand Mahurkar, Founder and CEO Findability Sciences gave examples of nonprofits and for-profits using big data today. Anand and his team are working with United Ways and other nonprofits. The following 5 slides are from Anand's briefing.
