Data is the new oil, the fuel for hypergrowth. It has ensured the success of the 3 companies worth more than $800Bn.
What are the ingredients of this success? How to fuel your own hypergrowth?
This series of meetups seeks to promote exchanges and discussions on how to use data for success.

From The Economist, June 2017: “The world’s most valuable resource is no longer oil, but data”
This is what data activities, conceptually, looks like for many.
Source data, code smart analytics or algorithms, get business insight or valuable features.
When it comes to a real data application, however, there is a lot more to it...
You have to add a number of data reformation, preparation and quality management work for data to start being valuable.
Then infrastructure need to be built to actually deliver the expected value to the business or the customer.
And finally the whole architecture needs to be operated at quality and scale to ensure consistent and economical delivery.
But in reality, even all this technology remains a small part of creating a successful business with data...
[Framing from D. Sculley & al., Hidden Technical Debt in Machine Learning Systems, NIPS 2015]
Building a robust product and experience structure, that understands the nature and needs of a data product, is needed to ensure the continued quality and fit for purpose of the application.
Monetizing its value proposition takes a good understanding of (and alignment with) the market for such value, as well as day to day product and business operation capabilities that know how to use data and manage its value.
And finally none of that can happen without the right organizational structure and talent, as well as a precise and risk-aware data protection methodology.
