[Dan Smith]

It was good. Mostly just a high level overview and best practice of using and implementing business analytics.

[Omisile Kehinde Olugbenga]

This book significantly improved my approach to business analytics. I can better lead my analytics team, use the Business Analytics Code to guide communication to my team, and make better decisions with respect to analytics governance. I strongly recommend this to anyone that will lead an analytics team.

I find Stubb's to be very good with words that I made so many highlights, comments, and bookmarks in the ebook version I read.

[Kevin Wilkie]

Some new insights into the world of real business analytics, but nothing earth shattering. Topics are a bit vague - since Stubbs tries to keep everything to a level that no matter what tool you're using, the topics would be helpful.

Overall, not horrible, just not particularly insightful.
