Why becoming a data-driven organisation is so hard
…to a degree that is perpetually underestimated, becoming data-driven is about the ability of people and organizations to adapt to change.

Pink Genesis: David Benjamin Sherry

Let There Always Be Light (Searching for Dark Matter)
by Rebecca Elson
For this we go out dark nights, searching
For the dimmest stars,
For signs of unseen things:
To weigh us down.
To stop the universe
From rushing on and on
Into its own beyond
Till it exhausts itself and lies down cold,
Its last star going out.
Whatever they turn out to be,
Let there be swarms of them,
Enough for immortality,
Always a star where we can warm ourselves.
Let there be enough to bring it back
From its own edges,
To bring us all so close we ignite
The bright spark of resurrection.
