It’s a red herring

Things that slow us down:

• Fear of making a wrong choice

• Uncertainty about next step (analyzing is easier than making progress)

• Belief that you won't get the support you need if you make the decision

• Lack of clarity about the desired outcome (so how could you make a decision)

• No one knows who should do what or when because communication has stalled.

• People are stubborn about making changes (because it threatens their security in their knowledge)

• Doing things a different way each time

A slow moving data team is not a technology problem.

It’s a leadership opportunity.

A people challenge.

And a process issue.

Spending your time focusing on technology is a red herring that’s distracting you from the hard conversations and the real work required in your people and processes.

I’m glad you are here,
