Too Long; Didn't Read
In our daily lives we are all faced with the need to make decisions. We usually make personal decisions based on personal experience and information. We draw from our friends’ experience as well as Internet and other external sources. The data needed to solve a particular challenge usually fits in our head and is structured in sketches in our mind, a notebook or a special document such as mind map. In business, the volume of available data increases in multiples and we are tasked with data collection, analysis and the sheer impossibility of not only holding all the information in our head but even structuring it in a single document. Even before we can attempt to structure the data, we must deal with diverse internal and external data sources and formats.
