And finally our Quote of the day

“In creating a data-driven culture, there’s no rest for the weary. We know of organizations that were hugely focused on data and analytics, but when the CEO champion left they drifted back to their old gut-based thinking and decision-making. From boards of directors to CEOs to analytics and AI leaders, everyone who believes in this focus should work to persuade others to adopt and maintain it.”

Thomas Davenport, President’s Distinguished Professor, Babson College. And Nitin Mittal, Principal, Deloitte Consulting.
