Abstract

Events, individuals' experiences and actions are increasingly “born digital" captured in real time by ubiquitous sensor networks. These events, experiences and actions are ready-to-process data that is available in continuous streams that are constantly evolving. We explain how to acquire, understand and use real-time digitally generated data for new value-creation opportunities that require new capabilities to be implemented.
