Highlights
The vast majority of organizations would be better off if they outsourced their analytics insights function.
A truly talented analyst can serve 5-8 companies, delivering them insights that would massively boost results.
But because of principled ownership (insistence that this should be an in-house function out of principle), they instead employ 5-8 people who produce less value than the 1/5th or 1/8th of the talented analyst they could (and should) be working with.
Hey @elonmusk I have been pending approval for subscriptions for about 4 weeks.
I have at least 2 people eagerly waiting to hear my most unfiltered thoughts.
What should I expect?
(in the off chance Elon doesn't respond, does anyone else know?)
