The article highlights that the most important new skills for business leaders are not data analysis or machine learning, but rather a drive to find key data and make it useful, creating a culture of constant analysis and action, and choosing the right tools and technologies. Business leaders need to develop these skills to build and maintain a successful business in today's insight-driven economy, where data is crucial for competitive advantage. They must encourage collecting and analyzing data, create a culture of inquisitiveness, and empower teams to act on insights to drive value creation. Additionally, they need to lead the decision-making around data infrastructure, shifting from traditional IT mindset to one that prioritizes agility, and ensure that business leaders, including CEOs, support this shift.
