There is an art and a science to breaking down the barriers to organisation-wide learning from data. The technology is not the limiting factor. The scarcity lies in the expertise to (1) guide an organisation in expressing its needs, priorities, concerns and constraints and then (2) design a tailored solution accordingly.
