📊 Data Overload ≠ Better Decisions: A Wake-Up Call for Business Leaders with CDO, from Fusable Matthew Cox and Michael Burke Recently had a fascinating conversation about the pitfalls of data-driven decision making. Here's the shocking truth: 1️⃣ More data doesn't always mean better insights. We've seen cases where vast amounts of data actually skewed business decisions in the wrong direction! 2️⃣ Volume is just a number. The sheer quantity of data collected is not an indicator of its quality or relevance. 3️⃣ Good principles matter. To derive valuable business insights and make sound decisions, we need to apply robust analytical frameworks. 4️⃣ In the world of machine learning and data science, the challenge is even more complex. Multiple factors can pull you in different directions. 🔑 Key Takeaway: 90% of the battle is asking the right questions. Before diving into data collection, focus on structuring the problem correctly. 📚 Recommended Read: "The Innovator's Dilemma" by Clayton Christensen. It's a game-changer for understanding how to approach business problems strategically. Remember, in the age of big data, it's not about how much you have – it's about how well you use it.

🎥 Data management and organizational culture with Michael Burke and Willem Koenders Key takeaways: 1. Data challenges are fundamentally cultural, not technological. 2. A company's culture and trust levels determine success in data initiatives, whether it's data mesh or other frameworks. 3. Even AI can't fix these issues without the right organizational foundation. 4. Data mesh isn't just about technology—it's about domain-driven ownership, interoperability, and strategic data accessibility. 5. Larger, complex organizations will likely need to adopt data mesh principles (broadly defined) to succeed. 💡 Bottom line: Technology alone can't solve data problems. It's about creating a culture that embraces domain-driven approaches and cross-organizational data sharing. What's your take?
