Data-Driven Decision Making

Summary

Using data as one input into a decision alongside business context and judgment — not blindly following a number, and not ignoring one just because it's inconvenient for a preferred outcome.

• 1Recall a decision you've seen made against available data, and consider if that was justified.
• 2Learn to present data as input to a decision, not as the decision itself.
• 3Practice anticipating the question 'what does the data actually tell us here?' before presenting.
