Dealing with a data deluge

In 2016, I wrote in another publication where I also have a regular space that the internet was facing “data inundation”. Firms, too, are awash with data on their own operations and plow through it incessantly to find information that will allow them to ‘transform’ their operations — in a never-ending attempt to get more by spending less. This relentless pursuit, akin to dogs chasing their own tails, is not only entertaining but also a stark reminder of the inefficiency of our current data management approach.
