data to guide decision-making and consumer
applications, and this is promoting change. “I could see
people relying on a data application that uses data to
formulate a list of action items that a person needs to

built into workflows in such a way that it helps guide
and inform your options where you don’t even feel like
you’re interacting with data. I can see analytics moving
away from the kind of heavy dashboards and self-
service business intelligence tools toward more
lightweight things that are almost embedded into the
way people work on a day-to-day basis.”

clear in what it’s helping you achieve.
People have come to the realization
that all the data in the world does
not help you if it’s not focused, if

problems, and if it doesn’t guide you
through that data in a way that’s
going to be really easy to understand.”
