Value creation

A small wording change can help.

Sometimes you find value.

Sometimes you deliver value.

But a more accurate way to describe what you and your data team do is

Create

See if this mindset helps you.

Someone who finds value is a guy on the beach with a metal detector.

Someone who delivers value is a delivery truck driver.

You find something that's already there. Or you move something from Point A to Point B.

If neither of those images appeals to you try this:

You can create value.

Create is something an entrepreneur, innovator, or visionary does.

No longer are you looking for something that already exists. You create something that's never existed.

No longer are you moving stuff from here to there. You create something to shape the future.

Look back at the work your team completed last quarter.

Rewrite the narrative in your head.

You didn’t just find or deliver.

You created.

It was good to see you today,
