"I finished a major BI requirements elicitation session just before reading Hyper. I thought that the process and rigor behind the book was compelling enough that I'm going to call key players back and redo it, this time using Greg's methodology. I realized that I made some serious misses without it. Really happy to get some clarity around this area of responsibility." - Roland Hess, Senior Technical Solutions Consultant | Google, Inc. "When it comes to business intelligence, business and technical leaders often struggle to keep pace with and adapt to the ever-changing and complex business landscape in which they operate.
