The power of trust in analytics
The power of trust in analytics
In this, the first of an ongoing series of articles on the power of 'trust' in D&A, we explore some of the critical questions and challenges emerging around trust such as the customer view, trusted data science, policy and regulation and cyber security, among others. It is our intention to drive forward a dialogue that – we believe – will come to define D&A in the age of the analytical enterprise.

In this, the first of Trusted Analytics article series, we explore some of the critical questions and challenges emerging around trust to drive forward a dialogue that – we believe – will come to define D&A in the age of the analytical enterprise.
Trust
“The ‘black box’ is becoming bigger and blacker, the data that is going into the box is becoming more complex, and the decisions that are being made based on the box are becoming more impactful. Executives and consumers must be able to trust the black box.”
– Sander Klous, Professor of Big Data Ecosystems, University of Amsterdam, and KPMG Managing Director, Big Data Analytics, KPMG in the Netherlands.
