Effectively using data as competitive advantage

Now, as to the bigger picture, I think if you look at, say, governments and countries as well, the same I think that applies for companies also applies for governments and social structures. Governments that harness their internal data about their people who can maybe use that to direct policy, to direct things like education, who can effectively make use of the data they have about their country just as companies can do I think should also have a competitive advantage on the global market of countries.
