When Everyone Is 10x More Productive, No One Is
Extrait original
the big realization from the analysis of what led to the events of 9/11 was that we really needed much broader connectivity among the data we had, and subsequent analysis of the links that were established.

Actually, I would say that, for me, what was quite central in that transition, if you will, was the realization by the government of the importance of link analysis using commercial tools. Many, many years ago, I had worked in an environment that was developing very proprietary tools to support those types of missions. As a result, there were silos galore. I think That then became a very important approach that found its way into commercial operations as well and led to big data and techniques to massively analyze that type of data that we were able to bring together. I think 9/11 did much more for data analysis than what we had previously in the 1990s with data warehousing and those kinds of technologies. It showed the importance of bringing together federated and disparate databases.
