- The underlying flaw in the generally-accepted concept of "business intelligence" that's led B2B companies astray
- The three unintended consequences companies have experienced in the interest of "putting data at their fingertips"
- Why people in the field need far more than data and the powerful mindset shift that can help you deliver it to them
