4 Things Every Leader Should Know Before Starting A Big Data Project 

As many as 85% of big data projects fail

1. Build for Purpose

Top challenge - integration into existing processes and systems.

"The first question you have to ask is what business outcome you are trying to drive"

2. Automate The Most Tedious Tasks First

Artificial intelligence is quickly automating routine cognitive processes much as industrial era machines automated physical work.

Use cognitive technologies to augment and empower them to improve performance and deliver added value.

3. Focus on The Right Data, Rather Than Just Big Data

"The big data mantra is to store everything". Just because you can 

collect data doesn't mean you should. 

You can't just collect all the data and expect someone to figure it out someday." 

Too much data increases costs and can diminish accuracy through overfitting.

As data security becomes increasingly important, organizations need to focus on data governance as much as they do on data collection. 

4. Start Small And Build On Success

Everything these days is done in an agile way and data projects need to be agile as well.

You want to get feedback as soon as possible and be able to show results in the first 3 months. 

That's how you build momentum and go on to greater things."

you are much better off starting off with a single business function in a single department, implementing a minimum viable project and learning as you go. You can't expect the road to a cognitive enterprise to be a simple straight line. The important thing is to keep moving forward.
