Topic: Uncertainty Opens the Door to a More Data-Driven Future

In times of uncertainty, like the current COVID-19 pandemic, decision-makers are hungry for information that can accurately help them make decisions. Collecting and understanding data suddenly becomes a high priority, but in many circumstances the data culture and capability are underdeveloped and both take time to cultivate.
