My key takeaways from this episode:

What should listeners know about understanding data

  • Today data accessibility is more available, the tooling to analyse data is cheaper, and it’s expected of leaders that they make data-informed decisions.
  • Yet, although most things are measured, many things are not improved. The challenge is not the data, it’s the decision-making.
  • You can torture data enough to get them to admit to anything. The question is how to interpret data correctly and how to factor in human interpretation.
