How to explain the value of data to your colleagues

Repost Linkedin : https://www.linkedin.com/posts/yacine-bekka_data-analytics-ai-activity-7036735231785132032-JzHv?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop


Do you struggle to explain the value of data to your boss and co-workers? πŸ€”

As data professionals, we can get caught up in our own expertise and forget about the perspective of “non-data” folks.

To help bridge the gap, I’ve created a visual to show how data can tie into business outcomes.

There are three significant ways that data can impact a company (assuming you’re not a tech company):

  • Better decision-making (analytics): The ability to extract trustworthy information on your market and operations for business decisions.

  • Automation (AI): Innovation and operational improvement through automation for more value with less effort.

  • Avoiding operational disasters (data quality): Bad data quality can cause disasters like NASA’s lost Mars Orbiter worth €125M due to a unit of measure error ! 😱

(The NASA disaster will be the topic of an upcoming post, so make sure to follow me if you don’t want to miss it πŸ˜‰)

All of these require the right peoples, tools, and processes to manage data end-to-end in your company.

Easy peasy, right? πŸ˜‡
