How to do things with data
Setting off towards the data-driven business
About the Book
Data doesn’t just describe or reflect reality, it can change reality. This book contains an exploration of this effect – what is it that data does, what is it about the massive growth and availability of data that changes our world, and what does this imply for us. How to develop and use data more powerfully, how to make your organization more data-driven, and why it matters.
