With data apparently the “new oil”, or maybe the “new asbestos”
Very interesting piece @Simon, thank you for sharing. I’ll be honest, I struggle with the “data is the new oil” analogy; enjoying your “apparently” prefix. My preference would be to say “data is the new solar”. It has always existed, its clean, and we are talking about finally realizing value from it.
You mention that the ultimate aim is a single version of truth. How does this apply within a design and construction context when there are at least two versions of the truth [1] existing version (e.g. site pre-intervention) and [2] potential version (e.g. designed solution). Until the design has been constructed, aren’t we dealing with (at least) two versions of the truth?
