what to do with #darkdata?

A6: The workforce of today needs opportunity for growth, an engaged and focused leadership team, and a plan for action. The #FutureWorkforce will need the same!

A6a Employees need to feel confident they have a role in the organization in the future, even if they are displaced by #tech.

A6b They also need the proper training and tools to deliver on the expectations of their employers.

42% of #millennials are likely to quit a job with substandard tech. http://dell.to/2mVBZ... #FutureTech

Knowledge sharers instead of knowledge keepers are what we need.

@CathiLane #darkdata and unstructured data are now where we are finding some of our greatest pearls of wisdom in business.

A6: Today's #FutureWorkforce needs tech that adds value. Such as adding efficiency with tech to give them time to be creative @kdtwill #FutureTech

76% of employees feel tech has had a significant influence on the way they work: http://dell.to/2eIOV... #FutureTech

WillPeterson A6c they need a visionary, innovative leadership team #futuretech

Agreed!

@CathiLane in the past we did not have the computing capacity to be able to make sense of #darkdata, but now we are harnessing all the nuggets contained within.

It's interesting because 1 in 3 millennials fear that artificial intelligence (AI) could lead to "robots taking their job" but at the same time 75% of millennials agree that AI could make their jobs easier

agreed re: sharers

We need to teach people how to ask good questions too. They say there are no dumb questions, so let's just say there are high octane questions that are relevant and dredge up facts and information that other questions do not.

@JaneAnderson brilliant (as usual)!

They love and fear #AI it seems! #FutureTech

@dfriez I have the SAME relationship to #chocolate!

Does that statistic speak to the lack of understanding of, or the potentially limitless application of AI? Or BOTH for the #FutureWorkforce?

@JaneAnderson there are always more questions. AI will make the #futureworkforce more curious to ask the right questions that will lead to the next big thing in #futuretech

@TamaraMcCleary People will be more satisfied if they feel they are grafted into the vision of the organization and that their contributions are valued.

A6: The workforce of today needs leadership to embrace that the 9-to-5 "business as usual" model is dying. We're now living in an always-on world. Select employees should be able to work anywhere, and be measured on results versus hours worked.

@TamaraMcCleary I learn from you!

@JaneAnderson well said. People need work that is meaningful and real...and to feel a part of something greater than themselves.

@JaneAnderson aw! You are a gifted and talented "sharer!"

@knutesands I feel like my entire career has been always-on and I got my start on #mainframes

@knutesands this has been my philosophy since forever. :) So far nobody shares it.

A4a #IoT not only offers opportunities to get greater insight and make quicker decisions, it is also opening new career fields.

A4b How many people 10 years ago would have thought #DataScientist was one of the top fields to pursue for a career?

@TamaraMcCleary #IoT is all about connecting the unconnected and once you have the data it is turned into business insights by these critical data scientist

A4I find the way data can be updated automatically, saving me time to be a great way #IoT his helping work. #FutureTech

Love this @WSJ story about how #IoT @Comfyapp is helping end the office thermostat wars https://www.wsj.com/...

Exactly! Unlimited potential for shifts in career fields. Automation is letting us work smarter and use our time for more strategy and less mindless tasks.

without meaningful insights into #BigData it's just noise.

Especially summertime in Texas outside when it feels like a freezer in your office! How am I supposed to dress for that? Ha!

@SarahLuden That was a great story! I"m not sure the thermostat wars have completely ended, thought! #FutureTech

@TamaraMcCleary 100% We need to computing power to help us analyze big data to put it to work.

@SarahLuden LOL! You need #IoT #fashion!

One of our #IoT customers - @weirgroup is gathering data from their pumps and other equipment out in the field and using the insights to improve their product development process based on the usage data - that is digital transformation!

As a marketing manager, the term IoT enables me to quickly and easily explain what our solution does. Because of all the hype, it is a well recognised term and therefore makes my job a lot easier! It certainly wasn't as easy trying to explain M2M...

@tamaramccleary #IoT will be even more valuable to the business when composable and consumable by all employees of companies.

@ElizabethW1057 asking the right question of the data yields the productivity we yearn from #BigData, many companies expect the data to tell them something...but it's in asking the right questions of the data where we glean the golden nuggets.

@TamaraMcCleary Great point! I love seeing new job titles to help showcase what is needed #FutureTech

@tom_poole I read you post and I couldn't help but think about #Bacon!

@Jasmine can you tell us about the @IMSEvolve solution for refrigeration monitoring and how it changes the workflow of grocery retail workers

IoT also enables organisations to create new business models, with access to previously un-accessible data businesses can identify areas to release value and generate new revenue streams - it's powerful stuff

Hi @amywhiggins!

@amywhiggins if only I were young again and embarking on a NEW career path! Oh the places I would go with #IoT!

@TamaraMcCleary Never too late for a change ;)

@TamaraMcCleary Interesting point. Do you think that w/ #IoT the data is NOW telling us the answers b4 we ask the ?s

@tamaramccleary ;)

@TamaraMcCleary I see new #HR data for grads with #BigData. What career path is there in the future with #FutureTech

@amywhiggins Great question Amy. No, we are in data overload and need the skills to ask the right questions and derive the right answers from the wealth of data we have.

@amywhiggins Exactly! I think its critical that we keep asking human-informed questions but it sure is convenient when #IoT asks the questions for us too.

Sure - In some stores, clerks have to manually monitor temperatures to ensure they comply with safety regs, or just assume everything is running effectively. We monitor refrigerators in real time & use predictive maintenance to avoid this

@ElizabethW1057 spot-on! And #IoT asks them A LOT faster! ;) But this is why I'm keen to edge #analytics... and getting rid of the data exhaust.

@TamaraMcCleary I like that "getting rid of the data exhaust"

This frees up staff time but also ensures food quality and food safety - meaning happier customers. A real time view of the refrigeration estate also enables retailers to manage energy consumption and maintenance costs
