What’s the role of data and information in today’s business world?
The term big data has in recent times become a buzz word in describing large volumes of data. However, it’s not the amount of data that’s important, it’s how businesses are able to draw insights from it for the purpose of continuity and edge.
We’re in a digital age and data is being generated everywhere around us. Businesses, whether big or small, have to be specific about the insights drawn from their data basing it on their field, what they need in order to have an edge over their competition, and how best to ensure continuity of their business.
So at what point does business and research integrate?
How can small and medium size businesses gain insights about their customers, competition, changing trends and preferences? What effect will a rising youth population and an increase in mobile penetration in Africa have on your business now and in future? How do you then position yourself based on these trends as a business owner?
On Thursday 31st August, John Paul Murunga, Client Service Manager, On-Demand Research, GeoPoll will be speaking at the Nairobi Garage Westlands Branch on the role of research in business.
