I was finally able to finish Creators of Intelligence – big thanks again to Dr Alex Antic for the review copy and the chance to share my opinion!

What I appreciated most is that it isn’t generic milquetoast advice to work hard and build a portfolio on GitHub, but is a deep, contradictory, sometimes frustrating (in the best possible way) read.  Hearing people with illustrious careers affirm your belief that Agile is not well suited for analytics is immensely satisfying.  Hearing people with equally amazing careers say most projects fail because of data quality is much less satisfying. 

Also very much enjoyed that it isn’t just influencers that were included, but a lot of quiet but important perspectives.  There were more than a few interviewees I was not familiar with, but whose technical and career advice were insightful and often something I hadn’t thought about before.  Alex picked a roster that covers technical / nontechnical leaders, geographic and industry diversity, and several ancillary specialists looking at ethics and compliance.  Great work bringing together so many voices Alex and thanks again for the chance to read it!
