It’s been a while since I’ve posted and I’ve already failed miserably on the daily post commitment 🙁
But, it’s ok because it’s a new habit and I’m going to cut myself some slack.
NOW….let’s talk data and why I’m in love with it.
My job has now transitioned into being more of a business partner to decision making. Something that I love doing. I’ve always thrived in roles that have allowed me to make decisions.
A big part of making great decisions is having a high level of conviction in the data that supports the decision. I know this sounds pretty elementary but I can’t tell you how many times I’ve ran across teams or leaders that don’t lead with the right data.
Data (and numbers in general) tell the story of what’s really happening. It’s like going to the doctor to get a physical. Checking your vitals gives the doctor the proper numerical output for them to suggest the next proper course of action and healthcare.
My work now is all about finding out what is the single source(s) of truth and operationalizing the data to make the best decision. The how behind this is the really cool and exciting part 🙂 More to come on this later!
