In some ways, selecting a quality data & analytics (D&A) partner can be similar to the process of buying a new car. In both instances, you’re in the market for something dependable that can help you carefully navigate any bumps in the road to arrive safely at your destination.

And, much like a car lot filled with inventory, today’s landscape of D&A consulting firms is filled with options – all promising to deliver data insights that inform your organization’s actions. But how can you tell the difference between a lemon and a Lamborghini in the D&A consulting space?
