Fuel for a hungry machine • You will eat 20 tonnes of food in your lifetime • You will spend 2,947 days eating, shopping, cooking, queuing or hunting for it • That’s 16% of your entire waking life
Fuel for a business machine • You will use (how much?) data in your career • You will spend (how many?) days collecting, cleaning, deduplicating and suppressing data • That’s (what percentage %?) of your entire work life !

A match made in heaven ? How important do you believe it is to invest in data quality? How important do others in your organisation think it is to invest in data quality? How well does the data you rely on help you meet your business goals? Whose responsibility is it to improve the data you use to meet your business goals?
