We hear that “data is the new oil” and maybe so, but just like crude oil, data needs to be refined to maximise its value. It needs to be processed into actionable insight.

But the reality in many cases is “analysis paralysis”, little actual insight, or recommendations that can’t then be acted upon owing to a lack of relevant resources.
