Note Davenport’s takeaways: hire quants who care about business issues and have the ability to explain their work in business terms. Good takeaways, a pretty much the same ones I pointed out in “Analytics, Schmanalytics! How to Evaluate an Analyst” (http://bit.ly/smartdata003). You’ll get no value from a fancy analysis that you can’t understand.
