10. “GOOD DATA WON'T GUARANTEE
GOOD DECISIONS”
• Analytic skills are concentrated in too few
employees
• IT needs to spend more time on the “I” and
less on the “T.”
• Reliable information exists, but it’s hard to
locate
• Business executives don’t manage
information as well as they manage talent,
capital, and brand.
