Guest: Derek Brink Title: Vice President, Research Fellow, IT Security, The Aberdeen Group In the same way that new security measures can help organizations better enable Big Data, utilizing Big Data can help improve and transform enterprise security practices on the whole.

So what are the steps to making this security transformation possible?

 Big Data, Bigger Security Challenges - Preview | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

Guest: Dr. Roger R. Schell Title: Professor, USC/ISI, University of Southern California Big Data in its early stages has opened up a world of new opportunities for businesses to derive value. And yet the unexpected consequence of that opportunity is that all the new insight that is now available to you is also available to those looking to do harm. This new data that is not secured in the same way as the rest of your organization could provide hackers deeper insight into when you are most vulnerable or susceptible to take a loss. So in what ways can we go about safeguarding against the loss of this information and enable security throughout the Big Data life cycle?

 Making User Innovation the Norm - Preview | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

Guest: James Euchner Title: Vice President Global Innovation, Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company Guest: Professor Eric von Hippel, Ph.D. Title: T. Wilson Professor of Innovation Management at the MIT Sloan School of Management; also Professor of Engineering Systems at MIT What if our organization's users had the ability to innovate products, services, customer touch points, customer satisfaction and processes with minimal cost, risk and hand-holding from upper management? Is it possible? To some extent it's already been done, but it's arguably happened by accident. What kind of framework or platform would we need to provide our employees with this autonomous capability to go about their workday? What combination of people, processes and governance would be required such that this ability to innovate from the bottom-up becomes a sustainable norm and not an exception?

 Reforming Education with Big Data - Preview | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

Guest: Charlie McMahon Title: Vice President of IT and Chief Technology Officer, Tulane University Guest: David Kuntz Title: VP Research & Adaptive Learning, Knewton Inc. Today’s students are struggling with high admission costs, a tough job market and poor graduation rates in an education system that’s failing them. Education reform is currently on the table, but while online courses and new software might be a next step, they’re not the transformative force the industry needs. Big Data on the other hand is designed to be personal, predictive and analytical. Not only can it enable higher education schools to address admissions and financial aid, but it can go a long way to making school count for our kids. So in what ways is Big Data being implemented throughout the education ecosystem, and how can we innovate on the whole?

In a volatile economy and shaky job market, thinking about long term benefits to the country and the altruistic deeds we aspire to are as important now as ever. So who will lead the charge?

Guest: Dale Alverson, MD Title: Medical Director of the Center for Telehealth and Cybermedicine Research at the University of New Mexico Guest: Harun Rashid Title: VP Global Health Services and Chief Information Officer, Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh - UPMC The idea behind telemedicine has well-publicized benefits to improving healthcare delivery, but part of the reason behind its slow adoption has been that the term itself has broadened to include video conferencing, store and forward technology and remote monitoring. And as healthcare mobility solutions grow, the definition is further blurring the lines on how to address remote treatment. So how can we combine these two concepts? How can mobile solutions be used to enable telemedicine and a wider use of Electronic Medical Records while addressing security, data and infrastructure concerns?
