The book provides a framework for defining the problem to be solved, not just "what can we do with this pile of data". In just six chapters and 94 pages, Thinking with Data: How to Turn Information into Insights by Max Shron, a data scientist, fills in several pieces in the process of creating insights from data. Because I'm a consultant, I wish that the book had one or two pictorial visualizations of the author's methodology and some proposed templates or worksheets for deliverables. But this book puts into words something that I often felt was missing from my own requirements gathering and I'm looking forward to writing my first CoNVO. Analysts and designers will find a lot to like in this book. Read it with a highlighter in hand. Full Review >
