Author: Amanda Pack. “The club set out to do hill training at Pilot Mountain where the guys were climbing the mountain and the ladies planned to circle the hilly countryside around the mountain. We were climbing a long hill and I was the last cyclist in the back having gotten dropped mid-hill. In the distance, I hear a bunch of screaming, and while we normally try to call out road obstacles for safety, the yelling sounded far more urgent.  “HIT THE JETS!”, “DOG, DOG!” and one high-pitched, blood curdling, “GET AWAY FROM ME!” can be heard as ...

Stephanie McReynolds March 19, 2016 — REFLECTIONS FROM THE GARTNER BI & ANALYTICS SUMMIT I hate to admit that the last time I attended the Gartner BI & Analytics Summit, Howard Dresner was still the host. I started my career in BI, but took a few deviations into CRM, middleware, and databases.
