The universe of digital analytics is massive and can seem as complex as the cosmic universe. With such big, complicated subjects, we can get lost in the vast wilderness or become trapped in a silo. We can wander aimlessly, or feel a false sense of either accomplishment or frustration. Consequently, we lose sight of where we are, how we are doing and which direction is true north.

I got my first data science job in 2012, the year Harvard Business Review announced data scientist to be the sexiest job of the 21st century. Two years later, I published a post on my then-favourite definition of data science , as the intersection between software engineering and statistics. Unfortunately, that definition became somewhat irrelevant as more and more people jumped on the data science bandwagon – possibly to the point of making data scientist useless as a job title.

On a recent trip to Egypt, I was amazed at the number of older vehicles I saw on the road dating back to the 1960’s and even older. These are not the beautifully conserved collectors’ items that you see here in the US but are mostly pretty beaten up with body parts often missing. Yet the incredible thing is they are still running and providing both value and productivity to their very demanding owners.
