THE 7 TIMELESS MR BLUNDERS

Information ComplexityActionable Business truths!
The Insights Business focuses on the acquisition of
information or data and the parsing of insight from it. It
attempts to describe the reality of the markets and the
‘consumer’ to aid decision-makers.
The core business of Business Insights is Truth. Describing
and circumscribing the Truth, therefore, becomes essential
to the business of providing and acquiring Insights.
We should focus on truths (with a small t). ‘truths’ that are
real for us in the that context and useful to ‘turn the face of
thought towards action and the future’! The insights with a
small “i” !!
