Making Better Decisions in a Data-Rich World
Join me for a free 30 minute class Tuesday, March 24th at 4 pm eastern
As part of the kick-off to the launch of my next cohort on Maven which starts April 20th, I’ll be teaching a free, thirty minute class on data wisdom on Tuesday, March 24th at 4 pm eastern, . Please join me by signing up here.
Here’s what you’ll learn in the lighting lesson:
Why Smart Leaders Misread Data
Spot the common traps that lead even experienced leaders to misinterpret data.
The Importance of Asking, “Out of How Many?”
Counts are one of the most common forms of data presentation. But a count doesn’t mean much without the deonominator.
The Power of “Compared to What?”
Data, absent the the appropriate comparison group, can be misleading. It’s up to you to ask, “Compared to what?”
How to Interrogate Data Rather Than Simply Consuming It
Learn to use a practical framework to quickly test whether data-driven conclusions hold up.
Turning Data Into a Strategic Advantage
Use data more actively to improve judgment and drive better outcomes.
Why this topic matters
In a world where it’s easier than ever to generate data, and where the volume of information you encounter is exploding, the real advantage isn’t access—it’s our ability to generate accurate interpretations that drive higher quality decisions. This Lighting Lesson will help you learn to interrogate information more effectively so you can reduce the most common errors of interpretation.
