Data growth is a direct consequence of advances in technology ranging from the smartphone to the Internet of Things devices. Today, the “datasphere”, or the volume of data in the world \u2013 is estimated to be over 60 Zettabytes. We even have a term for it: Big Data. But just because we have more data does not mean we are making better decisions or becoming more insightful. Too often our approach to big data and Machine Learning\u00a0 lacks a critical thinking framework making us prone to common pitfalls and unintended consequences. Interesting and cautionary examples of data and decisions gone awry abound.\u00a0 Our Guest is\u00a0 best-selling author, entrepreneur and event organizer Allistair Croll. Alistair has also been a visiting executive at Harvard Business School where he helped create and teach the HBS course\u00a0\u201cData Science and Critical Thinking\u201d.<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
