Preaching to the choir is no sin. It's only a sin if you fail to preach to them about the gospel of harmonizing in the right key.
#bigdatamgmt@SJAbbott@marksalke @ Out of deference to the tweeter from Ford, I opted not to mention their rival: Porter. 1928 model year.

A8: #bigdatamgmtMy car GPS talks to me. It provides endless merriment when mispronounces common words. Moves me deep down in my funnybone
A8: #bigdatamgmt"Talking cars"? Is this like a vehicular Mr. Ed? You mean connected cars?
A7: #bigdatamgmtMost of the #auto#telematicscar chatter shouldn't be stored long-term. Most is disposable. Needs to be purged often.
A7: #bigdatamgmtI'd prefer that my in-car #telematicschatter doesn't store the choice expletives I occasionally direct at nearby drivers
A7: data car gener can be divided 2 different classes based on relevance for manuf, dealers, societal, privat, insur... #BigDataMgmt
Retweeted by jameskobielus
A7: #bigdatamgmtOwners should store/control #telematicschatter assoc with in-car entertainment. Private/monetizable personal asset
A7: #bigdatamgmtDepending on laws, #automanufacturers should have access to warranty-related #telematicsdata while in effect.
A7: #bigdatamgmtWill store #auto#telematics"car chatter" in owner's cloud. Ideally, tags will identify data assoc w/each licensed driver
A6: #bigdatamgmtAbsolutely DO NOT focus on alerting drivers through smartphone or other gadget apps. Far too distracting. Dangerous
A6: #bigdatamgmtMake full use of the in-car navigation system to GUIDE drivers in real-time (e.g, detour here). Don't JUST alert them.
A6: #bigdatamgmtUse heads-up displays, audio, maps, graphics, large fonts, & even tactile/kinesthetic approaches to send alerts
A6: #bigdatamgmtRegard driver as "functionally disabled"--ie=., eyes, hands, & attention on safe driving. Dont distract w/excessive alerts
A5: #bigdatamgmtComponent performance data should B checkpointd in factory & upon delivery. What's design/engineering/manuf's fault?
A5: #bigdatamgmtKey to correl8n is timestamped + geostamped #telematicsevent data. Fine-grained pinpointing o failure-contributory events
RT @Natasha_D_G A5: Geospatial, time series and machine data analysis is required. #bigdatamgmt#telematics
A5: #bigdatamgmtIf you have road/envir/operation sensors in cars, you have complete driving history available to correl8 w/maintenance
A4: #bigdatamgmt#Telematicsdata can reveal if drivers fail to add oil & coolant, hence stressing engines beyond manufacturer recomm.
A4: #bigdatamgmt#Telematicsdata can reveal if drivers fail to avoid potholes, hence throw out their alignment & damage undercarriage
A3: #bigdatamgmtInfo from vehicles & OLTP systems should be combined with sentiment, #CXO experience, & survey data from owner/drivers
A3: #bigdatamgmtBuilding & managing 360-degree car "view" requires #InternetofThings+ #cloud + #BigData.
A3: #bigdatamgmtCombining event data-in-motion (from in-car #telematics) with at-rest data data requires streaming/Hadoop/NoSQL integr8n
A3: #bigdatamgmtAll that car-focused data will be combined, per privacy constraints, by #auto owners, insurers, & dealers.
A2: #bigdatamgmtI expect that autonomous vehicles will be deployed everywhere as continuous road-quality sensor/reporters.
A2: Think in terms of collapsing time & accuracy issues between event and those who did the design / engineering in the event #bigdatamgmt
Retweeted by jameskobielus
A2: #bigdatamgmtIf you have 1000s of cars/drivers feeding road-quality data continuously, provides richer data for diagnosing faster
@mjcavaretta A2: #bigdatamgmtFor consumer-owned car, sensors already on vehicles. For traffic-mgt/civil-engineer cars, specialized sensors
A2: Vehicle sensor data w/ warranty claims, production data & other data can ID quality patterns faster than b4 #bigdatamgmt
Retweeted by jameskobielus
A2: #bigdatamgmtCars are the advance scouts of any issues in and around the road system. They & their drivers see/feel problems first.
A1: #bigdatamgmtRoad-embedded sensors can alert engineers to emerging issues (e.g., bridge stress fractures) before catastrophe hits.
A1: #bigdatamgmtIn-car #telematicscan provide real-time intel to feed predictions of hazard systemwide impacts (e.g., congestion)
A1: networked traffic signals could get info from vehicles & reroute traffic or change signals for better flow #bigdatamgmt
A1: Lightweight MQTT transport protocol enables real time communications #bigdatamgmt#auto#telematics
Retweeted by jameskobielus
A1: Combo streaming geospacial data + vehicle sensor data extends driver's awareness beyond range of vision #bigdatamgmt
A1: #bigdatamgmt#Telematicscan use in-car imaging, motion sensors, environmental sensors to detect and assess road hazard in real-time
A1: #bigdatamgmtConnected cars should be networked in real-time to regional alerting service. First car on scene alerts the system
@mjcavaretta I stand corrected!
#bigdatamgmtI am deeply honored to be doing this tweetchat. And I hope you all feel honored to have me in your virtual presence.

#Criteria for high-quality, efficient #statisticalmodelsbegin with truth and beauty http://ibmdatamag.com/?p=12365 by James Kobielus
A8 U don't need #data2 prove every pain point but most of the time, ideas w/o #data are just conjecture. #CXO
A8: it's simply being ignorant. Not doing so allows your competitors a huge opportunity to poach your customers #cxo
A8: #cxo If you grow tone-deaf from not engaging in multichannel listening, you'll slowly wither. May not die. But may not grow.
A8: #cxo Where cust exper is concerned, U wont perish if dont have #bigdata. But you'll grow tone-deaf. Multichannel listening is key.
A8: #cxo Neither true nor false. Data scale not the issue. Competitive survival is all about foresight, agility, mgmt, & resources.
A7: Supply chain data on second- and third-tier suppliers can provide competitive advantage. #cxo
A7: #cxo Your data & your data scientists may B unexceptional. Your advantage may driving data-centric decision suppt throughout your biz
A7: #cxo Your data alone may not be your competitive advantage. Rather, your key asset may be data-scientist smarts for analyzing it all
A7: #cxo Compet adv is in unique value-prop difficult/costly for others to match. Your operational data may be unique asset. Mine it!
A6: #cxo In terms o churn risk, use data (survey, call ctr, etc.) to identify which high-CLV customers most likely to jump. Target them
A6: #cxo Customer survey and social influence data can reveal who drives sentiment, hence retention/sales/etc.
A6: #cxo Customer data can readily reveal who has highest CLV historically. Predictive analytics can help forecast CLV.
A6: #cxo Focus on a) customers w/high lifetime value, b) customers with greatest influence over other customers' behavior/opinions.
A5: #cxo Using data to pre-empt churn: a) analyze competitive price-points, b) assess own vs rival solutions, c) ID why U piss 'em off
A5: #cxo Pre-empting churn: a) reduce price, b) boost value, c) provide superior customer svc/engagement.
A5: #cxo Main churn drivers include a) you're too expensive, b) don't offer competitive value, & c) have alienated customer
A4: #cxo Use data you acquire during sales process to adjust your approach to woo each individual customer. 1:1 personalization.
A4: #cxo Direct marketing = targeting your message to the most promising new segments. That demands market research data
A4: #cxo Sales prospecting depends on data on qualified leads. That's fundamental to customer acquisition. Hot prospects?
A3: #cxo Perhaps leverage customer churn data. What "matters most" may be what the competition's selling.
A3: #cxo You should start by asking what overall experience "matters most." Data to answer that? Are prod/svc features priority?
A3: #cxo Of course, "matter most" starts w/ what they're buying. Purchasing data. Also, data on what prods/feats they're requesting
A2: #cxo Do real-world experiments & A/B testing of diverse variables across different channels. Measure differential #CXO lift.
RT @TabithaDunn#CXO A2: Ethnographic research into customer moments of truth can help prioritize what data matters most. #cxo
A2: #cxo Incorporate data on social influencers. Perhaps brand value perception shaped more by them than by your channels.
A2: #cxo Gather & compare data on customer interactions on various channels. Which channels drive sales? Which drive satisfaction?
A1: #cxo Data may be lacking to reveal cust "reachability" pref if you've never given them altenative. They grin&bear your current chan
A1: #cxo Data on past interactions can reveal if responding as U wish. But if have new custs or channs, past data not much help
A1: #cxo Data can help you determine which were the most EFFECTIVE ways to reach customers, in terms of response, acceptance, satisfaction.
@IBMbigdata#cxo A pleasure once again to be driving your tweetchat experience for the next hour or so.
