Decisions over Decimals: How to Find Balance Between Intuition and Information

My key takeaways from this episode:

What should listeners know about understanding data

  • Today data accessibility is more available, the tooling to analyse data is cheaper, and it’s expected of leaders that they make data-informed decisions.
  • Yet, although most things are measured, many things are not improved. The challenge is not the data, it’s the decision-making.
  • You can torture data enough to get them to admit to anything. The question is how to interpret data correctly and how to factor in human interpretation.

Uniquely bridging theory and practice, Decisions Over Decimals breaks this pattern by uniting data intelligence with human judgment to get to action — a sharp approach the authors refer to as Quantitative Intuition (QI).

Given the frequency, the real need is for a practical approach to lead in a data-driven world.
