Collaboration is definitely one way to go in managing large volumes of data. Organizations that fail to adopt this strategy risk, a depth they might not climb out of in a hurry. Large companies are being reported to be swimming the deep pools of bankruptcy. Some of them having thousands of branches in the years or decades past, and are struggling to keep about ten percent of that number open and running their business services today. Like it or not, customer behavior is changing with the wind, and your company has to keep up or risk losing its market, which can happen overnight; literally.

So while you are at the conference, define a business model that complements your services, take advantage of the train going forward and leave the risks for later.
