EPISODE QUOTES
“Really what it [business intelligence] means to me is what it kinda says on the tin, right? It really is generating intelligence for the business. So it’s really about using data to drive good business decisions.” (06:05)
“All of a sudden it starts to snowball. Once you start gaining that competency, then you start to see lots and lots of different areas where this happens, where you’re able to use the data to make and find nuggets of information.” (25:04)
“It’s kinda like brushing your teeth. If you didn’t brush your teeth for twenty years but then you brushed today, you’re compliant with brushing your teeth. But the damage has been already done. ” (28:45)
“You’re starting to see that there’s more data crunching and there’s more strategic thinking around data being done across all areas of organizations.” (38:22)
