I recently had the privilege of teaching MBAs and EMBAs as a part of Prof La Blanc's Data Science and Data Strategy class at UCB's Haas School of Business.

As you can imagine the topic is near and dear to my heart. :) My goal focus was not on how to get more data and process it, but on three things to obsess about when it comes to strategic influence from data: Purpose, Persuasion and Possibilities. I wanted the students aim way, way higher.

While the lecture itself is private to the university, here's a seven minute video on Big Data, throwing mental anchors away and what it takes to truly use data to drive change: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46LeIgAm0R0

I hope you'll find it insightful.

PS: Bonus Quote: Analytics is a lot more important than business leaders realize, and a lot less important than analytics people believe.
