How to Flourish in Industry 4.0, the Fourth Industrial Revolution

Call it a "Forrest Gump moment;" an instance of being in the right place at the right time for no other reason than just plain luck. A "Forrest Gump moment" is based upon Tom Hanks' character in the movie "Forrest Gump," a guy who always seemed to be in the right place at the right time meeting Presidents Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon at critical points in American history. I too have had a Forrest Gump moment in meeting President Reagan, however, my deeper Forrest Gump moments have been my long association with the history of analytics. I was fortunate to be at the birth of the Business Intelligence and Data Warehouse era while working for Metaphor Computers to deploy Decision Support Systems across Procter & Gamble in the late 1980's. And was fortunate again in the late 2000's to be at the launch of the Data Science era while building Advertiser Analytics at Yahoo.
