Critical Insight
Organizations that take data seriously should:
- Decouple processes in which data is separated from business processes and elevate the visibility of the organization's data assets.
- Leverage a secure platform where data can be easily exchanged for insights generation.
- Create density for analytics where resources are mobilized around analytics ideas to generate value.
