I’ll make this short, sweetish and to the point.
These are the arguments that CEOs need to know about Big Data.
It was written for CEOs and those who provide independent advice to CEOs.
If you are someone who wants to be prepared for CEOs who are armed with the realities of Big Data, then maybe this is for you too.

Many people come up to me in the street and ask me what big-data is all about. I have experienced this numerous times before. I am sure it might just happen to you as well. I know sort of thing, I read the big-data tea leaves. Nothing gets past me.

A few days ago, I published a blog piece that contained the following paragraphs:
I am quite a fan of many aspects that sit under the Data Mesh umbrella. However, when it comes to a proper fact-based understanding and analysis of the history, place and architecture (business, data and technical) of Data Warehousing the leading exponents of data mesh have it woefully wrong.
