Weathernews
Synopsis
Tomohiro Ishibashi (Bashi), Chief Executive Officer for B to S and Julia Foote LeStage, Chief Innovation Officer of Weathernews Inc., were addressing a panel at the Harvard Business School Digital Summit on creative uses of big data. They told the summit attendees about the Sakura (cherry blossoms) Project, where the company asked users in Japan to report about how cherry blossoms were blooming near them, day by day, had opened up opportunities for the company's consumer business in Japan. The project ultimately garnered positive publicity and became a foothold to building the company's crowdsourcing weather-forecasting service in Japan. It changed the face of weather forecasting in Japan. Bashi and LeStage wondered whether the experience could be applied to the US market.
