This document discusses becoming a data-driven organization. It recommends investing in robust data extraction and loading processes. Quick wins should be obvious improvements that were overlooked previously. Analyses should minimize friction and experimentation is important. Measurements should be focused on distributions rather than single numbers, capturing external relationships. The checklist involves investing in data, finding quick wins, being methodical, focusing on one key performance indicator at a time while changing often, and avoiding stale metrics.

1. Turn to data-driven:

2. • Low cost on demand transports
• Mainly to and from airports
• Two-sided marketplace
• Secret sauce:
packaging + smart routing + risk management
!
Comfort of a taxi for the price of a bus.

3. Goal: can reconstruct every touchpoint
and context (internal and external)

4. Invest in robust ETL

5. Quick wins buy <3

6. Quick wins
• Find something that is loosing money
• Find a conversion optimization
!
Quick wins should be obvious in hind site (and yet
nobody thought of them until you came along)

7. From reports to real-time
thinking support:
• 2 min
• 20 min
• fail
• project
Minimize

friction

8. Analyse analysing

9. ⥁Experiment!

10. Measure once,
question twice

11. Experiment tracking

12. There is no such thing as a
throwaway
• Reusability
• Audit trail

13. Have means to quickly and
frictionlessly share analysis
(and keep it up to date).

14. KPIs

16. With 100 KPIs, none is
key — FOCUS!

17. One KPI, many
metrics

21. 21
Anscombe's
quartet!
• same mean
• same variance
• same correlation
• same linear regression line

22. Think in distributions,
not numbers

25. Your
metrics
capture
external
relations

26. Becoming data-driven:
a quick checklist
✓ Invest in data gathering
✓ Find quick wins
✓ Be methodological
✓ Focus on one KPI at a time, but change often
✓ Beware of dead salmons
