Which Comes First, the Data or the Egg?

Kevin Gray·25 June 2017·Data & Analytics

...Is there fool’s gold in them thar hills? Any statistician or data scientist at one point or another will be asked: “I have this data.

Jane Frankland·18 June 2017·Cyber Security

...Roll up, roll up, shouts the cybersecurity tout at the conference. "Are you ready to be dazzled by our GDPR product, service and expert?"  We smile, groan or "tut tut."

Enterprises as systems squared

Peter Murchland·18 June 2017·Strategy & Innovation

...Enterprises as systems ... Enterprises as systems of systems (or systems squared) ... Makes sense! Seems reasonable! But what does it really mean?
