Who buys 10 staplers in 2016? I can’t remember the last time I bought a stapler. Sure, I own one. But I have to search for the friggin’ thing whenever I need it. It surprised me to learn that around 20 million are still sold every year. Who in the world is buying them? New college grads? Businesses in emerging markets? Well, if you believe the research of Yoon, Carlotti, and Moore the answer is simple: a handful of people who love staplers.

This post is the fourth in a series of data valuation insights shared at Evanta's Global CIO Executive Summit at the Skytop Lodge in Pennsylvania last week.

Timothy Gardner and Peter Hom have conducted some useful research about the signs that might emerge before an employee quits his or her job. They describe these cues as "pre-quitting behaviors." These include things such as acting less like a team player than usual, or becoming less enthusiastic about the organization's mission. They also might become less committed to long-term schedules and deadlines, and they may become less interested in working with customers.
