        David Menninger's Analyst Perspectives

        Despite all the advances organizations have made with respect to analytics, our most recent research shows the majority of the workforce in the majority of organizations are not using analytics and business intelligence (BI). Less than one-quarter (23%) report that one-half or more of their workforce is using analytics and BI. This is a problem.

A number, by itself, does not provide any indication of whether the result is good or bad. Too often, the reader is expected to understand the difference, but...
