Small data is useful because it is small enough for human comprehension and it is in a format and volume that makes it accessible, informative, and actionable. Big data is multifaceted and varies by industry and context, and oftentimes it is incomprehensible and incoherent. A business analytics mindset and tool set can help make big data useful and comprehensible to decision makers by essentially turning it into small data.
