Getting more out of your Big Data

Markets, people's needs, and your competitors all change. So to make the most of your data you need to apply context

We are working with a retail client who surfaces product recommendations based on what people are looking at. I have on my list a great film, One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, and also a great book, To Kill a Mockingbird. Without context, it looks like I am fascinated by birds and would possibly love to see recommendations for books on birds. With context, perhaps I am far more interested in late 20th century American classics.
