Whatever your opinion on Charlie Kirk, you can't deny the irony of his statement "It's worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment".

It’s a little toasty here!

I’m really pumped for this presentation by the Gartner OG!

Day 3 of the Gartner Data and Analytics Summit - let’s go!

Well into day 2 at Gartner, covering some fantastic content and insight.

I may be biased but I’m extremely pleased that Change Management is an important theme for data and analytics, as highlighted in the Gartner opening keynote.

YouTube video by furnuk Nashua Copiers Commercial - Orson Welles - Australia

In the 1980s there was an ad on TV, featuring Orson Welles. The tagline went something like "Time equals money, and who doesn't like saving money?".

I think this is wrong; time does not equal money, time equals time. You cannot but more time.

Carl Sagan is one of those who were lost far too early to humanity. The Pale Blue Dot video should be mandatory viewing for every person on this earth, at least once a year.

The Business Analyst’s Challenge Bridging the Gap Between Business Needs and Data Products

Are you looking to grow your career as a Business Analyst? Take a read open.substack.com/pub/thedatac...

Am I the only one that gets annoyed with products being called "data analytics" products when all they do is web analytics? Implying that web analytics is the only analytics there is.

I've been looking for a utility to build a decent sitemap.xml. I found one, but it needed to be downloaded and installed. I thought to myself "How quaint!" #oldskool

Focus on momentum instead of results, because when everyone benefits, performance is guaranteed.

The best path isn’t always a straight line, but if it avoids all hazards, it's right.

Fast fashion falls out of style. Fast technology never arrives in style. Both negatively affect humans and rarely solve the right problems.

Digital transformation focuses on people, not technology.

Great analysts communicate with data, focusing on people and effect first.

Data and insight are tools for action, not an action itself.

Without the right data, you're just another person with an opinion. Know your data!

The most dangerous phrase in organisational change isn't "this won't work"—it's "this is fine." Complacency kills more businesses than competition ever could.

Change management truth: People don't fear change itself—they fear the personal cost of change. Make the journey worth the effort, and watch resistance melt away.

In organisational change, resistance isn't the enemy—it's valuable intel. When people push back, they're showing you exactly where your change strategy needs reinforcement.

Most change initiatives fail not because of bad ideas, but because of brilliant ideas poorly communicated. The gap between vision and understanding is where change goes to die.

Excellent decision making and reactions by the South West pilot!

Trying to drive organisational change without addressing culture is like trying to teach your cat to fetch. Technically possible, but why make life so difficult for everyone involved?

"We've always done it this way" isn't a strategy—it's an epitaph. Organisations that master change don't just survive; they thrive in the very chaos that cripples their competitors.

Change management isn't about making people like change (they won't). It's about making change less disruptive than staying the same. The art is in shifting the scales of discomfort.
