Last year, TomTom was confronted with public outrage over the news that it sold location-based data of its customers to Dutch police. Albert-Heijn (Ahold) has been collecting customer information in order to provide you with customized discount-offers for years now, but what else can it do with that data? Tesco has been analyzing customer preferences and shopping habits for years now, is selling that information to competitors and makes a yearly profit of around £53 Milion on that data! Each of these examples show new business models, based on (large amounts of) data, that have generated a lot of value in a relatively short period. The way in which people, companies and devices communicate is changing dramatically, leading to an explosive increase in the volume of information exchange. These big amounts of data provide opportunities to benefit; data is no longer a byproduct of operational processes: it has become the core resource on which companies are competing nowadays! These companies are competing on information!
On Tuesday, June 19th, AlumniOS will organize a theme-night in cooperation with Nolan, Norton & Co. In the boardroom of Nolan, Norton & Co. in Zeist, the theme of the night will be Competing on Information.

Er zijn wetenschappelijke bewijzen dat een hoge mate van vertrouwen in persoonlijke relaties de prestaties van een organisatie verhoogt en er zijn ook aanwijzingen dat vertrouwen essentiëler wordt in onze hedendaagse samenleving. Er is echter nog maar weinig bekend over de rol van vertrouwen in de adviserende beroepen en er is weinig tot niets bekend over het verschil in vertrouwen in een externe of interne consultant/adviseur op de prestaties van de samenwerking met de klant.

It has been a while since we’ve organized a drink, so we figured it’s time to meet again! On December 2nd, the department of Organisation & Strategy will award the best thesis of last year with the Fuji Film Best Thesis Award. We want to combine this joyful event with an alumni drink!
The drink is organised in cooperation with Fuji and the department of Organisation & Strategy and will start at 6pm. Onno Gerrits, New Business Development Manager of Fuji, will provide a short lecture, starting at 6.30pm. Several members of the department will be present as well. Of course there will be ample opportunity to further discuss Mr. Gerrits’ lecture afterwards, or to just catch up with other alumni.
If you are interested in participating, please let us know by replying to this email, or register online at http://events.linkedin.com/AlumniOS-Herfstborrel-Fall-Drink-2010/pub/487183
Hope to see you on December 2nd!
