Making Data Simple: Machine Learning for Dummies

Al Martin: So Welcome back to the Making Data Simple series, and welcome to 2018, I'm not sure about you but years go by like minutes it seems like particularly the older you get. I don't feel like I'm that old. But we're excited about 2018. I desperately want to thank all the listeners out there because we have been growing exponentially, beyond my expectations so thank you very much. We will continue to find interesting topics and folks to bring in that talk both technology, leadership and everything under the sun. I also want to thank the producers that work tirelessly on this, Kate Nichols and Fatima Sirhindi, they find they great guests, IBMers or external too, industry experts and I know that they have a few surprises for 2018 so stick around. Please give us feedback and if you're on iTunes or elsewhere please rate us we like to know how we're doing. So thank you, and here's to the new year. Al Martin: Welcome to Making Data Simple. I have with me today Judith Hurwitz and Dan Kirsch. Al Martin: Judith Hurwitz is the President of and CEO of Hurwitz & Associates, a strategy consulting and research firm.
