Data collection and manipulation on this scale represents a significant opportunity for savvy disruptors to gain competitive advantage and secure big wins over their competition. Doing so requires “translating” the information into actionable insights.

They can move from one-off pointed insight to circular feedback, and from linear to circular commerce and personalized journeys.
