IESE blog -What has Paul Bocuse got to do with data science?

Read on our blog how author Julien Siebert explains that the data science process is lik a cook preparing a new menu. He draws comparisons with the ingredients (data), some preexisting intuition (domain and technical/professional expertise), and the right equipment (tools).
