BIG hosts ‘Big Data’ webinar with OnApproach’s Paul Ablack
DENVER, CO (March 30, 2014) — Anybody feel like a salty, twisted sourdough pretzel when it comes to sorting out member data? It can be complex. But the folks from Best Innovation Group (BIG) and OnApproach are hosting a “big data” webinar, “Big Data: How to Moneyball Your Credit Union,” to make sense this sometimes labyrinth of information so your credit union can capitalize on it now and well into the future. The webinar, hosted by BIG’s President/Founder John Best and OnApproach’s President Paul Ablack, takes place April 1, 2015, at 3 p.m. (EST).
The title, “Moneyball,” stems from the movie with Brad Pitt about taking a team of marginal players and making it a big success based on annual tics of the game? It was a true story. With some small tweaks credit unions can do the same, changing the trajectory of their organizations.
Big data and analytics has become one of the hottest topics in the industry – and there is little doubt that trending the behaviors of your members and responding accordingly will reap big rewards. But with all of the chaos of your data, how will you ever get there?
In this webinar, topics to be covered include:
- What big data really is
- How to deal with so many separate systems
- What you will need to start
- What kind of successes stories there are
“We’ve heard from so many people about the chaos of their data,” says BIG’s President and Founder John Best. “They know it’s vital to the future success of their credit unions, so Paul Ablack and I are answer a consistent pain point with this webinar to help resolve their issues. We are essentially moving forward from ‘Big Data 101’ and venturing deeper on how to really capitalize on it. And the great thing is we have plenty of success stories for credit unions to use as examples. It will be highly informative with practical takeaways for attendees.
