The project has brought about significant value, including change in thinking, improved business conversations, and exciting results such as building out a global issues taxonomy. Scott David emphasizes the importance of communication of the value of graph technology and watching the growth of the graph space, which is converging with machine learning to create powerful opportunities for enterprises.
