The Data Dividend: Reimagining Data Strategies to Deepen Insights 2022 | Economist Impact events | 17 May 2022 | W San Francisco, 181 3rd St, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA

Smartphones and the internet have made data abundant and ubiquitous. More data is now being generated each year than all the data produced since the advent of computers. This resource can be owned, traded and tapped into to drive step-change improvements in growth and performance. The benefits of exploiting data assets are numerous, from more agile product development and optimised value chains to faster market penetration and more personalised customer relationships.

But while businesses are keen to tap into this potential, they are struggling to keep pace with the flow of information. Most data is unstructured, making it difficult to store, manage and analyse. Without the right people, tools and strategies to address this, organisations face a lag in connecting and integrating their data from disparate locations to discover timely insights. To speed the process, data and analytics leaders are looking beyond traditional data-management practices to navigate the trade-offs between centralising data assets and processing them closer to where they are collected.
