What: "Cognac is made of wine, and not just one varietal or vintage, it is a carefully crafted blend, cared for and created layer upon layer to produce something otherworldly when done correctly. Cognac is crafted by real artists, masters who guide the spirit through it's distillation and aging, they understand how to bring together the different grapes, wines, cognacs to deliver something that is greater than the sum of its parts. Information is like that, it takes in data, from many different systems, formats, time periods and through analytics is able to give the engineer, scientist, executive, whomever something meaningful and beautiful out of all that chaos. Knowledge workers and data scientists are like those artists who blend the cognac."
