Business executives sometime asked, isn’t big data just another way of saying analytics?Its true that they are related: The big data movement, like analytics before it, seek to glean intelligence from data and translate that into business advantage.The saying of W. Edwards Deming and Peter Drucker, You can manage what you don’t measure rings true has explains why the recent explosion of digital data is so important. Simply put, because of big data, managers can measure, and hence know radically more about their businesses, and directly translate that knowledge into improved decision making and performance.Some of the questions:Is it evident that using big data intelligently will improve business performance?Would the use of big data enables managers to decide on the basis of evidence rather than intuition?How does your organizational culture impact big data initiatives?Who own the responsibility of big data in the organization? Is it HR, IT, or The business?Can organization overcome the five management challenges in order to reap the full benefits of their transition to using big data?Rotarian TM Akeem Gbadamosi, M.Sc Industrial Relations and Human Resource Management.Chief Executive Officer, First-Goldmine Consulting (An Human Resource Management and Development Services Firm) and Convener, Centre for Human Resource Emancipation (C4HRE)

His story:
I developed 3 novel products:
1. An electronic vehicle road flood caution device. The device uses a predetermined set flood level threshold to alert road users of flood above a permissible level to avert road accidents associated with flooding of roads. During operation, the device triggers alarm and flashes red light to warn road users when the flood level is dangerous. The sensor architecture and system of implementation is different. It can function on poorly constructed roads with muddy flood and covers more road network compared to the existing technologies.
2. Solar Powered Neonate Phototherapy Device Station. The device is for the treatment of neonatal jaundice in developing and low-income countries where electricity is not available, scarce, and expensive. The unique features of the device are: (a) it is solar powered. (b) it comes with a set of six Phototherapy lamp units enabling six patients to be treated simultaneously. (3). The Phototherapy lamps uses a different technology that produces collimated light at the frequency range required for photoisomerization of bilirubin. It is more efficient in the treatment of jaundice within a short time.
3. Vehicular Blackbox Security Surveillance Device. The device aims at turning our environment into a transparent glass house in order to reduce crime. It consists of 4 day night cameras mounted outside the 4 sides of rooftop of all road vehicles and one camera on the dashboard. All the cameras records even when the car is parked for 72 hours. The recorded data is stored in a memory card enclosed within the vehicle brainbox in a fireproof, heat resistant material that is almost indestructible. The recorded data is encrypted and can only be decrypted by authorised security personnel. The cameras record while in motion and even when parked. The device is for security surveillance and proposes a mandatory inclusion on vehicles in Nigeria.
