‘Big data' is a concept, and practice, that will only continue to grow as we receive more vectors to enlarge and complicate the data we aggregate.   That's why it's helpful to have some guidelines for understanding what big data is and how to use it. Dr. Ken Knapton, Senior Vice President and CIO at Progrexion, did his doctoral thesis on issues around big data and joins host Seth Colaner on this episode of Modern Business Operations. Progrexion has a portfolio of companies that helps people understand what's in a credit report and what to do about incorrectly reported data.   Ken starts the episode by giving us his background. He started in software development and then progressed when he realized that he didn't just like solving problems on his own, he also enjoyed showing others how to do the same. This led him to CTO and CIO roles across the tech, health care, nonprofit, and finance sectors.   Ken and Seth go on to discuss: Why more data isn't necessarily better How short the shelf life of data can be Why Agile has to be implemented as a mindset from the top down: if it gets promoted by IT it can be seen as just a tool, not as a change in thinking   You'll also hear about Dr. Knapton's work on the Forbes Technology Council, as well as some of the work he and his peers are doing in that forum.   This episode is brought to you by Tonkean   Tonkean is the operating system for business operations and is the enterprise standard for process orchestration.

Today, I want to talk about Agile. It is a term that gets misused and misunderstood a lot. If you are not a software developer, my goal is to help you better understand what this term is and how it is best used at companies. If you are a software developer, please listen to the episode anyway. I know you think you know what Agile is, but I want you to be able to help others understand it as well, and you'll walk away from this episode with a better understanding of where agile DOESN'T work well. And if you are a project manager, same thing applies. You need to be able to explain to people when Agile is appropriate and when it is not.    Help us spread the word: Share this episode with your LinkedIn contacts.

Kathy also explores the significant scalability challenges for taking great ideas from the lab to achieve a net-zero world. “The cost of change is a lot higher, so simply making the thing and trialing it isn't nearly as practical.

Get ready, because this is the show where we can rally around Healthy and Positive Agile/Agility Our last episode dove into some of our points of view on why Agile gets a bad rap.

Actually, I think this episode will help those who resist or don’t understand what Agile is, to understand the true value of Agile and change the perception of what they experienced or thought Agile was that led them to originally go against it.

Jeremy Knight spent 20 years as a B2B publisher creating publications for the private equity and fast growth business sectors. With digital technology, the Internet, and social web Jeremy believed making clients the publisher in a new media age was not just a good idea, it was the foundation for building a business. After all, building an audience was a better proposition than renting a list or leveraging third party routes to market, right? He launched Equinet Media in January 2009. Discovering HubSpot in 2011 was a game changer. The blending of a content marketing play with an inbound methodology propelled the business forward as everything we did for clients had measurable outcomes. Today Equinet is an Inbound Agency, working specifically for the manufacturing and professional services sectors, operating on the EOS system and delivering services through an agile scrum process.   What you’ll learn about in this episode: Jeremy’s transition from publisher to agency owner and the challenges he faced in that transition How Hubspot changed the game for Equinet -- even when it was far less powerful in 2011 than it is today Why CMOs are going to lead revenue and why sales and marketing are two halves of the same whole Hiring for attitude and training for aptitude instead of hiring based on skills alone Why you need to focus on developing different skills in all your team member when you keep all the work inside your agency and never outsource anything Why your team needs to have access to and understanding of the tools inside a tool like Hubspot, even if using them is not part of their day-to-day job What Agile is and how its point-based system works Learning how to implement Agile into your agency so that it matches up with inbound Why Agile doesn’t work the same for every agency and why you need to be ready to customize it Using Agile to figure out what works needs to be done to achieve the best results Why Jeremy uses two sets of points within Agile -- one for the value it provides a customer and another for the effort it takes his team Ways to contact Jeremy Knight: Website: www.equinetmedia.com Twitter: @TheJeremyKnight LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/jeremyknight Email: jeremy@equinetmedia.com We’re proud to announce that Hubspot is now the presenting sponsor of the Build A Better Agency podcast!
