In this second episode of 'the week in data' we sit down with Priscilla Short from Deloitte to discuss what we heard, saw and read on everything on data over the past week. We discuss business intelligence in the context of smart cities, what data fabric is, and investment in 'small' smart cities. We reflect on why cities are not making decisions on smart cities solutions based on data, and why a business case is still an underutilised tool for guiding actions.
