    So, is there some new research that suggests that there is deoxyribonucleic acid hidden in the corporate data that reveals the complex pattern of corporate culture? That would certainly get more people interested in enterprise data.

  2. Stephen Reply

    DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is a double-stranded helix of nucleotides which carries the genetic information of a cell. It encodes the information for the proteins and is able self-replicate.

  3. Jim Reply

    What is DNA, is that a biological term or a new peice of software? I challenge you to say what it means.

    In all of my CoffeeCAST’s I am finding new insight. This one especially helped and the timing was excellent as we extend our Xcellerate Data offereing and also help a bank with Breakthrough Approach.
    I found that in general this was part of our original vision and Corporate DNA, but this helps build some well articulated and proven methodologies and approaches.
    Looking forward to more conversations with Bob.

  5. Jim Reply

    I really liked this conversation. Unfortunately the quality of the
    sound is bad at times, the content is worthwhile. The whole thing certainly got the juices
    flowing and the excitement I felt when I first discovered Bob and his
    ideas. I think this technology is just pure gold. Simple, yet profound. Thanks, Bob.
