Big Data Presents Big Payoffs but NOT Before Big Problems Need to Be Solved — preferably BEFORE the project begins. But since that’s not always possible, the sooner expert mentorship can intervene (once issues first appear) — the quicker the project can be put — not just back on track — but rather, back on the fast track.

Want to know what I teach successful organizations?
I wrote the book on managing Big Data projects. In it, I pass on the concepts and topics I teach at Fortune 100 companies to make them successful.
Most of those 15% winning companies received high-level, masterful mentoring, hands-on expert help throughout the process — to hit that “success mark.” Some openly talk about that help and most understandably don’t.
It was frustrating. We were failing and the Vice President was watching us do it. We had all the books and tried to work through the steps, but our use of relational database systems like MySql and Oracle meant we were approaching Hadoop in a fundamentally incorrect way. Our RDBMS solution was slowing down the Big Data solution.
Within two days of finishing the course, we had rewritten major components of the database architecture. Over the next six months, we completely overhauled everything we had done before we worked with Jesse. The 14 billion rows of data that used to take 16 hours to run were running in 2 hours, and the upgrades saved our company millions of dollars. If you take into account the lost time, and the salaries of our team while we were failing we could have saved a lot more — we really should have worked with Jesse sooner.

What is your team’s probability of success?
Making sure the team has all of the right skills is crucial to your success with Big Data. A team missing critical skills or that has an ability gap has extremely low probabilities of success.

The data tells the story. Plus, the big reason WHY most initiatives get stuck, stall, struggle, suffocate:
