The document discusses graph thinking and its applications in various fields such as patient care, public health, and data management. It emphasizes the importance of understanding relationships in data to derive meaningful insights and improve decision-making, showcasing how graph databases like Neo4j enhance real-time recommendations, fraud detection, and master data management. The document highlights the efficiency and adaptability of graph databases compared to traditional relational databases, promoting the idea that 'the person with the most data wins.'

Project Impact
Less time writing queries
• More time understanding the answers
• Leaving time to ask the next question
Less time debugging queries:
• More time writing the next piece of code
• Improved quality of overall code base
Code that’s easier to read:
• Faster ramp-up for new project members
• Improved maintainability & troubleshooting](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/graph-thinking-for-everyone-160212211942/85/Graph-Thinking-Why-it-Matters-50-320.jpg)

Editor's Notes
- #5: increasing complexity
- #13: 100 billion neurons 1,000 trillion synaptic connections
- #14: 100 billion neurons
- #18: And deriving value from data-relationships is exactly what some of the most successful companies in the world have done. Google created perhaps the most valuable advertising system of all time on top of their search-enginge, which is based on relationships between webpages. Linkedin created perhaps the most valuable HR-tool ever based on relationships amongst professional And this is also what pay-pal did, creating a peer-to-peer transaction service, based on relationships.
- #19: First, not everyone in the room would know what a graph is.
- #20: What this means for your data structure
- #23: First, not everyone in the room would know what a graph is.
- #24: A graph is connected data. Which essentially means – datapoints that have relationships with other datapoints.
- #25: For example, a road could have traffic jams and traffic lights
- #26: Or a hotel that has rooms, which have availability
- #27: Or it could be people who know other people – who know other people.. who studied together, who work at the same place – who studied with other people, who works somewhere else… etc.
- #28: The interesting thing is what happens when you start to add more and more relationships to these graphs, and these things start to take off at scale…
- #29: …forming an extremely powerful foundation from which you can derive value.
- #43: First, not everyone in the room would know what a graph is.
- #52: First, not everyone in the room would know what a graph is.
- #53: The obligatory “Ann Loves Dan” example
- #60: “And people love it”
- #63: Thank you for listening!
