Sound Bites
- "We can't do this alone, can we? It's a really, really big, ambitious, big, hairy goal that we're aiming for. It can't be done by one person or one company. It's got to be done by all of us pulling together."
- "People think it's a passing fad. It doesn't affect me. It affects the data team. I'm seeing a split in the industry as well. And especially within government, I'm seeing them becoming inward focused."
- "We live in this attitude of scarcity, that there's not enough to go around, therefore I've got to keep hold of my little pile. And I think that's the main thing hurting the adoption of some of these data-driven initiatives."
