If studying the East London tech scene has taught me anything, it is the growing importance of data. As this Economist article shows "the infrmation revolution is changing the way businesses operate."
Having studied economics at university level and spent 15 years in journalism trawling through official statistics (EU, national, OCED etc), I thought my quant skills were reasonably healthy. But it is the ability to exploit, not interpret, data that is ever more freely available.
