State of Affair in Terms of Big Data Utilization in Complex System Engineering Organizations

Abstract

The primary goal of this ongoing questionnaire is understanding the state of affairs in terms of big data utilization in Norwegian high-tech enterprises. By asking 24 questions to employees at partner organizations comprising of categories, such as Data Availability, Usability, Integrity, Competency and Organizational behavior. The survey attempted to get a nuanced understanding of the current processes at partner organizations of the H-SEIF2 consortium, or lack thereof to systematically utilize big data in their projects from the perspective of employee’s perception. For example, the survey found that the Project Managers have a more optimistic perception of their usage of big data while upper management has a more modest opinion of their current state. In addition to providing insights, the results will act as a baseline for making recommendations and propose adaptive digitalization solutions for each partner organization.
