The Harvard Business Review said the following: "A typical big data analysis goes like this: First, a data scientist finds some obscure data accumulating in a server. Next, he or she spends days or weeks slicing and dicing the numbers, eventually stumbling upon some unusual insights. Then, a meeting is organized to present the findings to business managers, after which, the scientist feels disgruntled or even disrespected while the managers wish they could take the time back.

When these meetings fail, the main points of contention usually include unclear purpose; analyses that are too narrowly focused; and over-confidence in the science, which turns off non-technical managers.
