Data is the new gold. As the Digital Revolution enters its next evolution, fueled by a heavy investment in artificial intelligence, the importance of collecting, knowing, and acting on information is becoming increasingly vital. It will soon become the cornerstone of the advanced global economy, if it hasn’t already.
Every edition of WBJ and WBJournal.com is designed to convey market intelligence to you, our audience, so you can thrive in this brave new world. If you know where the economy is headed locally, nationally, and internationally, you will have a step up in helping your business and your people succeed.
The new special edition from WBJ called Central Massachusetts INSIGHTS is the extreme version of that market intelligence. This entire edition is anchored by graphics, charts, and lists full of historical and current data on the most pressing economic indicators for our business community. Moreover, all the feature stories in this edition take a high-elevation look at the local economy, providing a level of analysis beyond the day-to-day news cycle.
Aside from our annual Book of Lists each summer, INSIGHTS is the most data-dense publication WBJ will publish this year. Even as the news cycle continues to churn, I suggest you keep this special edition around for the next year, as you can glean nearly countless insights from the information contained herein. And in business, that is the true power.
Brad Kane is editor of the Worcester Business Journal.
