Drowning in communicaCon?
• Never in human history have we hunted for so much data, informaCon and knowledge.
• Never in human history have we gathered so much that is useful but not used.
• Growing feeling of being overfed with data?
• Data becomes informaCon when it is informaCve.
• InformaCon becomes knowledge when we use & learn.

• ProducCon
– Every day, we create 2.5 quinCllion bytes of data — so much that 90% of the data in the world today has been created in the last two years alone.
– This data comes from everywhere: sensors used to gather climate informaCon, posts to social media sites, digital pictures and videos, purchase transacCon records, and cell phone GPS signals to name a few.
– This data is big data.

4 Common Obstacles to Research Use:
1. The research quesCon is not perCnent to pracCce.
2. The research is not Cmely.
3. The research is not communicated in ways relevant to users.
4. Management pressures trump the use of research-‐based evidence in decision-‐making.

We need to be creaCve:
In order to create the “ideal” future, you need a lot of ideas from which to choose otherwise the future tends to look like a linear extension of what already exists.
Or
If you want to know what the future is, be part of its development. (Peter Drucker)
