DESCRIPTION:
A Solid Introduction Originally posted at kellysutton.comI had been looking forward to picking up and reading Winning with Data by Tomasz Tunguz and Frank Bien ever since I first heard about the book on tomtunguz.com. This is my review.If you’re looking to get an initial introduction into data-driven companies or how you might bring data-driven thinking to your company, Winning with Data is for you.

That's how powerful data can be when it's optimally leveraged. Illustrative, trenchant case studies give you an up-close and detailed look at how the leading data-driven companies disrupt industries with data. Instead, the right questions are, "How do we get exactly the right insight into everyone's hands at the moment they need it?" With the authors' widely practiced methodology, the entire company can speak the same language and decide based on the same facts—not opinions—to outperform.
