Sentence 85

Before But these are innovations—new products for which the design, costs, development plans, positioning and every other aspect has to be built from scratch—and therefore, having control over timelines, quality, and profit is challenging. After But these are innovations—new products for which the design, costs, development plans, positioning and every other aspect has to be built from scratch.  Control over timelines, quality and profit is vital.  Notes I split it into two sentences since the 'before' version was too unwieldy. Try to phrase a sentence positively. ' Control over timelines, quality and profit is vital.' is a positive sentence.

Sentence 84

Headline Before - A sneak peak into life in Pyeongchang beyond the #Winter Olympics. After- A sneak peek into life in  Pyeongchang beyond the #Winter Olympics Notes #wordchoice Peak vs. peek

Sentence 83

Before The first challenge companies’ face is deciding which data to use. There are large amounts of data that is generated internally such as customer transaction data, internal performance data, internal supply chain, and others. After The first challenge that companies face is deciding which data to use. Large amounts of data are generated internally, such as customer transaction data, internal performance data, internal supply chain and others.  Notes In the 'before' version, a possessive is made of companies in the plural. That is incorrect. The word companies itself is in the plural. Don't start a sentence with 'There are'. It adds to verbiage and sounds schoolgirlish. Removed comma before and since it is British English used here.

Sentence 82

Before The timelier and more enhanced the insights, the greater an organisation’s ability to stay ahead.  After Timely insights enable an organisation to stay ahead.  Notes: 'The timelier and more enhanced the insights' is not parallel. So I have rephrased. Also, timelier? We only say timely. Do not say 'organisation's' , i.e, do not form the possessive of a non-living thing.  Have also cut down the sentence for brevity.
