Our organizations have gone through dramatic changes in the last two years. Data and analytics has simultaneously been a driver, enabler and response to these changes. Although it is tempting to think things will "return to normal", there will be no old or new normal. In a world of continuous uncertainty, we must use data and analytics innovation to deliver the outcomes our organizations require.
