. @DeLeonTavo Jim is one right now who is jumping into the crowd not afraid to engage. To me the new exec has to be accessible and engaging authentically

. @DeLeonTavo The best young exec are pushing ideas in the open and creating an "inside out organization"

I'd say @kieranhannon is up there as well. When will it become the rule rather than the welcome exception though?

when do the non-digital execs disappear

@JimMcHugh Probably when the paperless office happens. :)

@JimMcHugh there will be "machine learning" algo to get rid of the "exec spam" :-)

connecting with targeted groups of people will be a big thing for any social organization.. so this so called sharing economy is somewhat real

I guess I need to get more connected in order to move up #womenintech

frictionless communications creates faster access to real data on what people say and do..this will drive and change behavior to be more open which should in theory be postiive change

for example the negative can happen like this http://www.nytimes.c...

this is a great question.. love it - adding it to my list of things to watch and evaluate- very compelling conversation

the digital exec will have dashboards and predictive and prescriptive analytics working for them - insights and action will be the KPIs and ROI variables

.@DeLeonTavo @jikechong was just on @theCUBE and said communication between the people who write the algorithms is vital to the success of the business

It determines how accurate the data set is

data is the developer kit and algorithms is the code. The apps are the key

the discovery of interesting things

discovery and navigation for quality content is something we look for in the content business; content and interest create an environment for people to connect = social engagement

Once upon a time, we would need a $2-million computer to analyze big amounts of data. Now an algorithm can do the same thing in 20 minutes on a laptop.

if we're meant to make positive changes, the algorithm is critical to make decisions based on accurate & meaningful data.

Algorithms are like logic, from the old saying: Logic helps you make deeper, better holes, but if the hole is in the wrong place, no amount of logic will make it work.

@PlatforaHelp I think @benwerther will nail this question

We'll find that automated/heuristic analysis shortens the iteration cycles, but as the world changes, data changes, and the algorithms have to change as well.

@gallifreyan do you write the algorithms? :)

I write the songs that make the whole world sing.

@gallifreyan totally agree on the automation of things like heuristics etc

I'd say IT is still responsible for the plumbing, keeping the traffic going, whether it's on-site or cloud or hybrid resources. They're no longer the gatekeepers for making IoT analysis happen though.

@gallifreyan completely agree wise man

where will the value be created? IT will enable it

@Crowdfather value is in the applications and the users driving them - technology scale and features are table stakes- execution and ideas will be the key differentiators imho

Role of IT: adapt or be left behind

If you're not in front of the next wave you become "driftwood"

I'm no longer sure that "adapt or be left behind" is all that true. Catchy, yes. Inclusive or accurate, probably not. You still need people who can see the big picture even if they don't use the same buzzwords.

But then people have vastly different definitions of "IT" so your mileage may vary.

@gallifreyan it's a great fear tactic but I feel like if the network and apps are not scaling for UX and CX then customers will lose money which is detrimental to growth

@gallifreyan Working on the high end of IT, we sometimes forget that not everyone has access to the same tools/capabilities

Very true. If your network people jump directly to the latest and greatest and no longer have your wall jack or access point working, nobody wins. You need people who adeptly turn technology into business drivers and enablers. That's IT.

@gallifreyan IT is not dying at all it's changing for sure and that is obvious how it changes is dependent on the company's goals and objectives no std playbook anymore after core critical infra is established imho

I'm certain that #IoT or #IoE is easier to tweet or type... but everything seems to start out as a buzzword or catch phrase.

I know I'd rather refer to Big Data (which is not 100% precise) rather than "amalgamated aggregated multi-source multi-format data."

Is there a way to simplify the #IOT?

Like @gallifreyan i agree it's sometimes easier to go with the catchy phrase.

@arianagradow Depends on how you want to simplify it. Ultimately, gathering the data uniformly and processing it together makes it pretty simple, as opposed to collecting and schematizing it all before looking at it.

Who creates more value the vendors or the practitioners (customers)

@gallifreyan thanks

Big Data buzzword needs to sleep with the fishes

I haven't heard a better term lately. Have you? :)

@furrier It's like car manufacturers vs drivers and their crews, I'd say. Both are necessary but with different visibility.

what do you mean by plugs?

You mean micro-USB cables?

.@JimMcHugh not sure what plugs are but I'm guessing Google has analytics on it

I just saw @googleanalytics tweet a link to Best Practices for Android: http://codeversed.co...

Google analytics are clickstream based not first party based unless you're on google only

@DrZeydy great to see you back on CrowdChat!

Thanks @furrier Do you have a schedule of the chats this week? I just catch them whenever I'm paying attention

@DrZeydy check out www.crowdchat.net and see upcoming chats. Do you like data chats? Lot's of them going on this week

Google Analytics is for apps and sites. BTW, hi John.

@DrZeydy here is the schedule and you can "follow" chats wchih notifies you went a new one gets added and then you can add to calendar https://www.crowdcha...

Cool! The "follow" will be handy

@Crowdfather not the kind for ears
