Hello Data-Driven World!

After years of using various computer systems and coding platforms, I recently decided to focus and consolidate my project workspaces into a knowledge-focused blog to build community, support and thought leadership around the identification, collection, curation, and distribution of useful tips and resources, which often lead to follow-up research, discovery, insight and (eventually) knowledge.

Most projects begin with a problem, curiosity, intuition, or top-of-mind business question: “Where is the untapped potential in these markets?” or “Which prospects are generating the most revenue relative to my portfolio?” or “Which accounts should I transfer out of my portfolio?” or “What are the next recommended actions to meet my goals?” or “Where should I spend my time, focus and energy?”

While the path to transforming data and insights into knowledge often begins with these types of linear, “top-down” lines of inquiry, the actual process of generating useful recommendations and decision support often requires a circuitous and sometimes recursive (nested) approach to analyzing multiple types of factors or dimensions before identifying an emergent pattern or theme:

This site will be dedicated to documenting and sharing examples of data analytics resources, workflow, scripts, code snippets, as well as any other types of business intelligence and problem-solving tools that promote efficiency, data-driven insights, and decision support to unlock value and organizational development.
