The document discusses how to become a data-driven organization. It outlines that data-driven organizations make decisions at all levels using diverse data sources to develop a deeper understanding. They recognize the importance of high-quality data and conduct experiments and research. The document recommends three steps: 1) pushing decision making down the organization, 2) investing in quality data, and 3) engaging management to do the same for the organization. It concludes that high-quality data helps others understand and align with decisions.

1. ARE YOU DATA DRIVEN?

2. DATADRIVEN
The term “data-driven” is
penetrating the lexicon ever
more deeply these days.
Recent academic work shows
that companies that regard
themselves as “data-driven”
are measurably more
pro table than those that
aren’t.

3. The essence of “data-
driven” is making better
decisions up and down the
organization chart

4. TraitsoftheData-Driven

5. 1
The data-driven:
● Make decisions at the lowest
possible level
● Bring as much diverse data to
any situation as they possibly can
● Use data to develop a deeper
understanding of their worlds
● Develop an appreciation for
variation

6. 2
Deal reasonably well with
uncertainty
Integrate their ability to
understand data and its
implications with their
intuitions

7. 3
● Recognize the importance of
high-quality data and invest to
make improvements
● Conduct good experiments and
research
● Recognize that decision
criteria can vary with
circumstances
● Realize that making a decision
is only the rst step

8. 4
● Work hard to learn new
skills and bring new data and
new data technologies (big
data, predictive analytics,
metadata management, etc.)
into their organizations
● Learn from their mistakes

9. THE 3 STEPS

10. 1
First start by pushing
decision making down the
organization.

11. 2
Second, invest in quality
data

12. 3
Engage your management
team in doing exactly the
same thing for your
organization.

13. DATADECISION
Success is measured in
execution, and high-quality
data makes it easier for
others to follow the decision-
makers ’logic and align to
the decision.
