Members found the idea of building competitive strategies around data-driven insights intriguing. In this second chapter of Competing on Analytics: The New Science of Winning, by Tom Davenport and Jeanne Harris and published by Harvard Business School Press, read more about how to put analytics to work in your organization.

I would like to share with you information re two books on IT Project Management:
- “Rainbows & Ratholes: Best Practices for Managing Successful Projects” and
- “From Ratholes to Rainbows: Managing Project Recovery”.
I would be happy to send you a synopsis as well as sample chapters for review and publication. The books are also available on Amazon. Please let me know if this is of interest. Regards, Dhanu Kothari
Thank you, I have saved it and will be able to read this later today.
Interesting read. I did notice a revamped savvyness for data mining lately with the clients I meet. I think, to compete effectively you need to be analytically literate of the business you are evolving and how you are in relation to it.

It would be great if anyone could send me over the first chapter (barna.kiss@freemail.hu). Thank you, in advance.

Per our agreement with the publisher we are only allowed to publish one chapter at a time on the website.
Again, an excellent read. Thank you IPIP for posting the second chapter. I’d like to share this chapter with my CEO, but want to check to see if it is ok to do so. Please advise.
There are many at my company asking for better BI capabilities. But, after reading this chapter, I think more work is needed – at least in my company – on defining what metrics are the most meaningful that measure our distinctive capability. Afterall, BI is nothing but a numb tool that does what we tell it to.
Can you post again the first chapter again, please?
Please feel free to invite your CEO and others to the website to read this excerpt.
We are unable to post the first chapter at this time as our agreement with the publisher only allows us to publish one chapter at a time. Once we take down the second chapter, we will consider whether to repost chapter one or another chapter. Let us know if there are others of you who interested in chaper one or other chapters.
