Your skill at making decisions

“Data-driven” is not primarily about data.

Data-driven does not require

• TBs of data

• Large data team budgets

• Sophisticated data infrastructure

• Expensive data literacy training initiatives.

Data-driven actions can happen with very small amount of data, with immature data technologies.

Because being data driven is not primarily about data. Data-driven is an approach to making decisions.

It’s about clearly identifying decisions.

Quantifying the uncertainty or risk in a decision.

And using data to increase the likelihood of success in an economical way.

Sometimes that requires a lot of information (data). Sometime it requires very little.

Sometimes that demands massive cloud-scale systems. Sometimes all it needs is Excel.

If you are going to measure anything in your company, you should be measuring your skill at making decisions.

And data is the most effective tool to help you make better decisions.
