Relevance

Where would the consulting industry be without logical solutions to problems? Thanks in part to David Apgar, the world may never know. Apgar is the managing director of the Corporate Executive Board's finance practices. His new book, Relevance, demonstrates his proficiency in the field as it aims to help readers target which data are important. "The information revolution is drawing to a close as our expanding information resources bury decisions under ever higher piles of conflicting data," reads Apgar's introduction. The reason for this devolving? Relevance, he says, is being neglected. To further demonstrate his views on accelerating learning and making decisions, he offers real-world examples from business such as Toyota and Capital One. Their inclusion only serves to make the tome more, well, relevant.
