Now, on to our episode! You’ve probably heard that data is the new oil. But did you know that understanding what data to gather… and how to use that data... is also creating lots of opportunities? We’re talking not only opportunities for those seeking jobs or starting a business, but also for those who already have a job or a business… or might even be looking for a good investment.
My guest today, futurist and data analysis expert, Ben Talin, speaks about those topics and much more on this episode.
Listen as Ben elaborates on such things as (1) what are some of the key trends involving the use of data over the past couple of decades, (2) what challenges businesses typically face in making sense of the data they gather, (3) how data is viewed or used differently in various parts of the world, and (4) how data might be used in the future, including in what Ben calls "the fourth world."
More importantly, Ben points out where the opportunities lie with data analysis. Interestingly, these apply as much if not more to those who already have jobs or own businesses, than those seeking jobs or businesses! Beyond that, Ben provides some great tips for either of those groups on how to seize these opportunities. This includes a trove of FREE resources his company offers.
