Conclusion

This chapter concludes the core content of the book. After over 300 pages of content, it’s now up to you and your teams to activate the lessons in this book into outcomes for your company. There are so many evolving capabilities and new applications of old, which means this book will one day become out of date. I find that exciting!

With improvements and innovation occurring every day, I have so much hope for the future of this discipline.

Companies need great data to deliver great results. They need practitioners like you and me to help them get there. If you take nothing away from the contents of this book than to be a humble partner for your business stakeholders, not working in parallel, but in the trenches of delivering great results with them, together, then that’s good...
