The most impressive thing i noticed that QVC can pick some key wards that move customer by their their analysis. For screen the key words, they observe the most popular words that people used online. I think it is a kind of technology good for both side—- customer and company. Thats what data work efficiency.
-
The most important lesson I gained from Mr. Whetstone’s talk on Thursday was that others will treat you how you let them treat you. I was surprised by his story of how he directly told his CEO that he would not sugar coat anything and was going to be straightforward. It seems like nothing big to tell someone that you will be honest and truthful with them; but when it is someone who has such control over your career and future, it takes a lot of courage.
Mr. Whetstone’s talk reinforced the concept and importance of meta-data. QVC uses the metadata they receive to infer what products customers will more likely purchase, at what time, with what key words and at what price. Metadata allowed QVC to track what qualities of a product will make consumers more inclined to make a purchase; and in return they were able to increase their revenue and customer satisfaction. -
The biggest takeaway from Maurice Whetstone’s talk to me was his last 15 minutes. It really stuck with him when discussing attitude and only allowing people to treat you how you let them no matter their position within the company. I really enjoyed to hear about how key words used during a pitch increased sales moments after those key words were used. Just using key words as data to increase sales is something I didn’t believe played that big of a role.

Looking at the data that you already have and finding out which data sources provide the most valuable information. To analyze the data effectively, you may need integrated systems to connect all the different data sources. In an enterprise, every employee has a responsibility as a CEO to analyze and deal with the questions, making sure running this collective better. Listen to your own voice and always do what you want to do!

I really enjoyed the guest lecture last Thursday. To me, the most important takeaway was how data can be used in real time to influence consumer decisions. During the lecture, Maurice talked about how QVC has a team dedicated to capturing, organizing, and interpret data to influence consumers through the TV program. Like if the host says “it’s a great deal”, people watching it are more likely to buy the product, or when a lot of viewers have questions about a specific product, the team can identify that and communicate it with the production team so that the host can address it live. I also found very interesting when Maurice mentioned the steps QVC was taking in order to use the cloud, and why only now they saw the necessity to do so.
-
In my opinion, the most important takeaway from Maurice Whetstone’s talk was the importance of real-time data. I was intrigued to hear about how his company was able to use the saying of certain words to influence sales. What I learned is that there is a pattern between two separate things and not just one potentially coincidental occurrence, then there may be a relevant correlation.
-
I found the most interesting part of Maurice’s talk to be when he discussed his experience working on real time social media data and implementing it into a live TV broadcast. His teams idea to monitor twitter and use that data to help solve questions and target onto key words to boost sales in real time seemed like a fun problem solving job and a great idea. It seemed too easy in hind sight to monitor real people and use the data they were collecting to help a live TV show. It showed how data can be used simply to boost sales and help customers in rapid time.
-
For me, a very important take away from the class was about IT Auditing and its tie-up with Data Science. I actually asked him this question in class which is why I was more interested in this topic specifically. It is not super established in his company, a section of IT Auditing but they do have a branch of Cyber Security.
I think Data is used everywhere because, the company he works for namely QVC stands entirely because of data, and he also commented about Filter Bubble we discussed in class. Meta Data was something he pointed out in the beginning which we learned in the class already. Meta Data is the basic thing that gives the surface or a base for QVC to function to analyze other data and get the works done.
I don’t recollect much from his presentation though
-
I think that the most important takeaway from Maurice’s talk was that data is everywhere and can be used for virtual anything. I learned that the way data is used to make decisions over time has changed significantly due to the advent of new technologies, and the way we can use date to help ourselves is numerous. Overall, I learned that data plays an integral role in everyone’s lives.

Laurel,
Mr. Whetstone’s talk was an interesting one, but there was one key detail that caught my attention. Mr. Whetstone explained how QVC uses REAL TIME data to tailor its broadcasts to its viewers in an attempt to boost sales (aka say, “great value” more, etc). That is some real innovation, I imagine it’s existed in some form leading up to now, nonetheless it’s remarkable where tech has taken us now. I’m respectfully unsure how to tie this into the class material, give me a month and I probably could.

Based on what Mr. Maurice talked about last Thursday, I think the most important take away to me was that you have to gain your respect and respect others the way you want to be treated. In the work world, I think that is very important and it was important to me because I have had two jobs where bosses thought they could talk to me any kind of way. I kind of did what Mr. Maurice did and let them know that I would not tolerate any disrespect and one time I could have been fired. But, like his boss, my boss knew that I was the only person to talk to our district manager like I did.
I learned that data is very important and is used more than I think in my daily life. He discussed the challenges in his job, as far as in someone coded something wrong and there was no code at all to match the correct one, they would to start over to match new codes. It is important to do all your research and to have the correct knowledge when working with data. He discussed how you have to be careful with the errors in big data because not all data is falsifiable. -
The most important takeaway from Maurice’s talk on Thursday was one of his life lessons to let people treat you how you let them. I thought this was interesting because the cliche phrase is “treat others how you want to be treated” and that just doesn’t follow peoples behaviors. I learned that data is in everything. Maurice explained that everything has data and asked if we could name a profession in which no data is used, but oddly enough there is not one.
-
In my opinion, the most important takeaway from Maurice Whetstone’s talk on Thursday is that you should always try to present yourself in a respectful and positive manner, no matter what you do. He stressed the importance of this very idea as a life lesson. I learned that data is used to make decisions all the time within businesses and that it can be used in many different ways and can pay dividends. This relates to what was previously discussed in class in that data is everywhere and that it is there to be turned into information which can consequently lead to better decision-making.
-
The most important takeaway from Maurice Whetstone’s talk for me was to find a job that you enjoy doing. This was the thing that stood out the most to me because it was evident from listening to Maurice talk that he loves what he does and working with data. I learned that data usage is constantly being innovated, and the analysis of data is crucial in a consumer-run world. The work the Maurice and his team does is related to what we learned about how data is turned into information and how it is accessed and worked with through streamlined groups in a workplace.
-
I think the most important takeaway from Maurice’s talk was how data could be used to make businesses more efficient and profitable. I learned that data can be used to show opportunities for improvement within company systems ( for instance waiting until the end of the day to pack up customers goods to save money). Another important topic Maurice mention, which has also been discussed during class time, was that companies have access to our data so we should be careful with what we do on the internet.
-
I really enjoyed Maurice Whetstone’s talk today in class. I loved how passionate he was about what he does and that made it a lot more interesting and easy to listen to. He was really funny and made learning about his job within data science super intriguing.
-
Maurice was very enthusiastic, happy, and embodied his message of finding a career that you love. If Maurice was doing a job he didn’t enjoy, he wouldn’t have the motivation to go to college classes and speak to young people about data, their future, or finding the right career. His insight into a big corporation like QVC was very valuable along with his knowledge of data provided for a very informative talk.
