The greatest competitive advantage out of being data-driven lies in a firm’s organizational ability to work the five new-age questions as compared to being restricted to intelligence—why and how in contrast to only what, when and where. This suggests that firms must find practical strategies for up-skilling its operatives, managers and subject matter experts to work the questions. The thrust of all strategies can be that up-skilling will occur for individuals engaged in building and using data analytic insight deliverables. That is the subject of the articles. The articles are available in mobile-friendly form via the webpage titled, "Up-Skill To New Age."
