Fantastic read on the intersection of building analytics and how users feel about them. Point 1. Build it and they’ll use it doesn’t exist. It doesn’t solve the WIIFM. As 2 pro goalies are quoted, I see the value but it doesn’t help me do my job any better. Plus, as a technical pro, much like senior claims adjusters, they didn’t ascend the ranks via luck. Point 2. It’s great for the leadership team and company. True. This is where where the biggest payoffs lies: those that control the work of others. Get them to buy in, use it & implore their underlings to use analytics and you’ve hit a homer (yes I’m blending sports analogies.) Point 3. Use but don’t abuse analytics. Absolutely. They serve a significant purpose and will empower you to make a more informed, data-infused decision, but it’s the merger of technical acumen/experience augmented by analytics, a human in the loop design, that delivers the best outcomes. —- The technical build is really important, you need good data all the time and you must dial in UX…. But without adoption, you’ve got another shiny, unused toy. #analytics #analyticstranslator #digitaltransformation

New Post: India Lose To Germany 3-2 In Hockey, To Play For Bronze In Olympics 2024 - https://lnkd.in/giVQxZaQ India men's hockey team after losing their semi-final defeat to Germany at Paris Olympics 2024.© AFP 
 
 India missed a golden chance to enter the hockey final of the Olympics for the first time in 44 years as they went down 2-3 to Germany in a close last-four clash at the Paris Games here on Tuesday. The Indians started brightly and dominated the early exchanges, before the Germans regrouped themselves. It was a great opportunity for India to enter their first final of the Olympics since the 1980 Games but Germany dashed their hopes with a decisive goal in the fourth and final quarter. Skipper Harmanpreet Singh (7th) and Sukhjeet Singh (36th) struck for India, while Gonzalo Peillat (18th), Christopher Ruhr (27th) and Marco Miltkau (54th) were the scorers for Germany.India will now take on Spain in the bronze medal match, while Germany will be up against Netherlands in the final.The Indians were on the front foot, pressing the German defence hard in the opening quarter and in the process scored the first goal of the match through Harmanpreet.But the Germans, known for their steely resolve, came back strongly in the second quarter and equalised from a penalty corner through Peillat, before talking the lead through a penalty stroke conversion by Ruhr.The Indians secured both their goals through penalty corners as in the 36th minute, Sukhjeet nicely deflected in a variation from Harmanpreet's flick.The Germans attacked with intensity in the fourth and final quarter and just six minutes from the final hooter, they scored the winner when Miltkau deflected in a cross to break Indian hearts.The Indians had their chances in the match as they earned as many as 11 penalty corners but converted just one.Germany, on the other hand, secured only four penalty corners.(Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is published from a syndicated feed.)

2024 European Ice Hockey Awards: Take a look at the top players from every country in Europe before the 2024/25 season Hockey Europe is a breeding ground for top talent. At the same time, North American media pays little attention to them—and this is understandable. The favourites in Canada and the USA will always be local players. Many European stars absolutely undeservedly do not get on the front pages of NHL sports media. Today, I decided to correct this injustice and publish the list of the best players from each of the European countries. Do you agree with it? Write your opinion in the comments.
