In this conversation, JP Rangaswami is going to help us slow down our thinking, breaking apart our tendency to literally jump to conclusions. He’s going to talk about the four stages of data development. So that you have a bit of background before we start, here they are:
- Observation: What just happened?
- Diagnosis: Why did it happen?
- Prediction: What’s going to happen next?
- Prescription: What should I do about it?
JP has some great examples to illustrate these four stages in real-world decision-making. Just listening to this conversation helped me heighten my awareness of when I conflate these steps, I think you're likely to find some new insights too. Enjoy.
