Thanks for the nice words you put in to the students for Babette's and my writing efforts. It is great to hear about your teaching the Introductory CI course to the MBAs. I'll bet that course was an absolute treat for them, particularly knowing that someone as experienced and insightful as you were teaching it. I wish we had more of those courses, and knowledgeable instructors like yourself, offered in business programs around the globe. I think the field would be much further along than it is. Fortunately, I am still a strong believer in the "quality is more important than quantity" principle, so at least we know a fair number of students are successfully learning about CI! Keep up the great work and please do stay in touch and let me know how your teaching, as well as professional activities, are progressing. Be well, Craig

Why don't we see more 'big data' players doing CI consulting. It seems to me that companies like Google, with absurdly comprehensive environmental data, doing more to move…
Hey Eric,
Very nice, I really like your critical dissection of the author's convoluted and ultimately flawed, thought process which you laid out very articulately. Precisely right, what exactly is the difference here? The issue of direct vs indirec…
