The buzz about Data is at an all-time high, and the industry leaders are completely dialed into the potential and the promise of Data. However, surprisingly Gartner predicts, about 85% of Data based engagements fail. Some of the issues cited are lack of clarity in business goals, insufficient problem analysis, gaps in specific business knowledge, data diversity and lack of talent to translate and communicate findings.
