Description
Data-Informed Decision Making provides an accessible roadmap on how to navigate common challenges obstructing successful data-informed decision making and culture.
It presents a reliable framework to help ensure there is alignment between what the business needs, what data teams can deliver and where leaders should get involved. It also outlines a process to address the most common biases and psychological resistance to change, both at an individual and organizational culture level and examines the importance of soft skills as well as technical capabilities. Additionally, it advises how organizations can better focus their data resources to ensure they support the most critical, high value business activities.
By leveraging data in a logical and systematic manner, organizations can reduce the impact of complexity, confusion and bias in their decision making. Organizations can also benefit from better alignment between their business and data teams, better cross-team communication channels, more trust, better understanding of challenges and a unified front. This will be invaluable for business and data leaders who need to drive data strategy, decision making and digital transformation in their organizations.
