Episode notes

I think it's hard when you have your group of stakeholders actually like at your client, and you are one of the agency or consultative voices at the table. And so then in that sort of client multi agency scenario, like, and there are different agendas, whether whether malicious or conscious or not,. Different data sets available, all of that. So no matter who looks at it, in which data set, it's all going to point in the same direction. Well, that that's that that goes back to the little bit in the mind's eye of the stakeholder that like, sure, no, it's data, it's objective.

This topic was such a big deal that we managed to have no guests, and yet we had five people on the mic! Why? Because this episode doubles as a marker of a shift in the show itself. Beyond that, though, we had a lively discussion about how every business stakeholder professes to being committed to being data driven. That should make every stakeholder super easy to work with, right? And, yet, analysts often find themselves struggling to get on the same page with their counterparts due to the realities of the data: what it can and can't do and how it is most effectively worked with. Not a small topic! There were even pop quizzes (feel free to let us know how you'd score the answers)!
