” THE GLOBAL INFORMATION LANDSCAPE is rapidly changing and affecting our lives and communities. Today, for the first time in human history, we are producing more information than we can absorb. This surge in information poses new challenges, but also creates avenues for innovation. The challenge we are faced with is to effectively leverage data into actionable insights. We must prepare for a data-driven future. “
