Adolf Waaldijk | Fiit BV | November 6, 2024

I would like to compliment the author of The Data Science Book. I purchased the book due to a shift in my responsibilities in the latter half of this year, as my focus is now on the sales of 'Wyn.' As the Director/COO of Fiit BV, the company behind the development of the BI platform 'Wyn Enterprise,' I don’t have an IT background, so I’ve been working hard to get up to speed. I've read about a third of the book so far, and it has completely captivated me. The content is engaging, and the writing style makes it an enjoyable read. Review about Data Science book.

Erwin Folmer | HAN | September 26, 2024

I am impressed with how the author manages to clearly explain the approaches to machine learning/AI within a limited scope. The book offers a very nice overview and strikes a great balance by including a bit of technology, but not going too deep.

As a possible improvement, you could consider making the distinction between AI and data-driven work, data analysis, and dashboards clearer. The sections on AI could even be beautifully combined (and supplemented) into a book on the fundamentals of AI and Data Science (analysis, AI, visualization) including data engineering. And again, at the intersection of technology and business. Review about Artificial Intelligence book.

Mark van der Veen | Utrecht University of Applied Sciences | August 16, 2024

I have been using the old and new versions for years for the Business Intelligence course at the part-time HBO-ICT Business Information Management. The book realistically illustrates how creating value from data is process and organization oriented.

If you use this correctly, with the tools from Daan's book, you will be ready to continuously capitalize on the value that you can get from your data through the application of BI technology.

Recommended for anyone who wants to see BI (and also applicable to AI) as a structural part of their organizational capabilities. Review about Data Science book.

Bonny | March 5, 2024

I think it's an incredibly interesting book, which can really be used as a guide to implement BI within the organization, so that the organization can eventually become data-driven. It is clearly written, making the steps easy to follow.

It also gives clear insights into why BI is important within an organization, allowing you to use this for adoption within an organization. It gives concrete examples, allowing you to translate theory into practice. All in all, a pleasant book to read and provides the right tools for organizations to start working data-driven.

I personally approach the material in an incremental manner, focusing on studying theory and insights and then relating those tools to practical application. I hold the belief that the resources provided by Passionned Group are making valuable contributions to developments within the healthcare sector both presently and in the future. During discussions with healthcare managers participating in modules at NCOI, tasked with creating Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), I took the initiative, based on feedback, to recommend Passionned Group. Specifically, I directed them to your website and encouraged them to explore the tools and offerings available for training purposes. Additionally, I am enthusiastic about the didactic presentation of the material. The SMART KPI toolkit provides a logical framework that facilitates a deeper understanding of its core concepts.

The course provides good insight into the content and potential applications of big data analytics. In addition, you will gain an initial insight into how data models are created by getting started with programming yourself, but in a way that is extensively prescribed and explained. What I found particularly valuable is that now I understand better what big data analytics is. This allows me to translate the problems in my organization and think about how big data analytics can contribute to improvement. Review about Big Data Analytics Training.

Very good format. The variety of theory and assignments was pleasant. The theory was applied to participants' companies thus learning different methods and views was nice. In terms of content, the first day was less in line with what I was looking for than the last two. I found the second day and especially the last day very valuable.

Hans ter Braak | Director | January 30, 2023

The book is very easy to read because it is written in clear language. That is what appealed to me the most. It is also a confirmation of the knowledge I have gained over the years in BI/AI projects. I think chapters 1 to 7 and section 9.2 form the core of the story, the topics of the remaining chapters are also described in less detail but in more of an overview of the latest trends.

Point of improvement: if your target audience is also at the strategic management level, I would also add some kind of "management summary". Review about Data Science book.

I am still fairly at the beginning because I want the material to be well absorbed, this means that I should not read it just before sleeping. Even though I am only on chapter 3 so far I find the book very interesting because it has a clear description and good practical examples. I also like the illustrations, this helps me to understand better while reading.

Even though I have not finished it yet, I have already recommended it to colleagues. If I find any points that could be improved I will pass them on to you. Review about Artificial Intelligence book.

Patrick Veld | Real estate company | January 25, 2023

I have read this book until the last page. I find it has an enlightening explanation of what an "intelligent and data-driven organization" is and what it isn't. It is illustrated with practical examples. The mix between theoretical models and practice is well balanced. I find the introduction and 'The hands and feet of the intelligent organization' (chapter 5) most valuable. As an improvement point, I would find a step-by-step plan or overview valuable to get started with this in concrete terms. Review about Artificial Intelligence book.

Yolanda Stuijt | docent Business & IT Management | Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences | January 25, 2023

I started the Data Science book and already used it in my classes to explain KPIs. The topics are carefully explained in understandable Dutch. The illustrations are clear, easy to explain and of good quality to put in a ppt slide! If I have an English speaking class I can use the english illustrations. So very useful!!!

I improved one of my classes "BI tools" by using chapter 4 "data science tools and applications". Mapping the BI tools to the decision making process gives a good overview of what where which tool can be used and with the BI applications, I can explain to students what type of analysis takes place in their project.

Section 4.3 is learning material for me because the students learn this ealier in the curriculum. Actually, I use this book as a library to browse and grab what I need! Super nice!!! Review about Data Science book.

Jeroen van der Hagen | Municipality of Rotterdam | January 25, 2023

I really think it's a super interesting book! I enjoyed reading it, especially because most of it is very relevant to my field. I was also looking for a vision on data-driven work, and I think I have found it. I sometimes find it difficult to determine which direction an organization wants to take with regard to data-driven work, and which steps are needed to achieve this. I am convinced that the lessons from this book will help me with this, because the subject matter in the book is very practical for my work.

I work daily with:

- teams struggling with issues around KPIs/dashboarding/data quality
- data warehouse managers who unlock and prepare the data for us, but also to set up connections between our tooling & the data warehouse
- stakeholders I have to convince of the power of data-driven work (Process Mining in my case)
- tooling that makes use of algorithms
- et cetera

So the book is very relevant to me. Have 0% regrets about the purchase. Review about Business Intelligence book.

Tibor Olgers | Tibor.nl Consultancy Group | January 1, 2023

I think your e-book is terribly good. It should be required reading for every dga/ceo. We have all our clients create a KPI dashboard (process indicators) and scoreboard (results and performance indicators).

Entrepreneurs have an awful lot of trouble keeping focus in that endless stream of to-do's. Concrete and well-chosen KPIs help tremendously in keeping on track. While I think the depth you offer in the e-book goes beyond what the average dga needs to know, that depth of knowledge is hugely valuable to us as mentors to those dga's.

I am very positive about this handbook AI because all topics are covered briefly and powerfully without too many technological terms. It is well-organized and understandable, and as far as I am concerned also engaging because of the case histories among other things. The first chapters (1 to 6) appeal to me the most, chapter 9 is also good. Chapters 8 and 9 are well concrete. Chapter 10 could be more "trend watching," but really everything is in the book so it is mostly complete. Review about Artificial Intelligence book.
