What do you do if your feedback in data analytics is causing more harm than good?

The trident TTC (Tone, timing and content) of recognizing issues with data analytics plays a huge part on how well or how bad our data is viewed. Timing - know when to put out information, even if we have the best thing to say, if it's not the right time, it might be wrongly received. Timing is all. Patience is the virtue of the gods of data. Tone- this one is a no brainier. Ignore it to your peril. Content - here we must ensure they are totally data-driven and free from all personal and confirmation biases.

Really. This is not unusual neither does it require this much introspection. Analyze why there is disconnect and how it was received. This should have been done when the feedback was provided itself. Find out if the receiver was even open to feedback. Again this should have been done at time of feedback. There is no point in giving feedback if the person at the other end is not open to it. You would need to address the reason why the individual or team is not willing to be receive well intended feedback and tailor a different approach

Discuss the feedback with colleagues or stakeholders to gain different perspectives and insights. Also Ensure the accuracy and relevance of the data you're using to provide feedback. It's possible that incorrect or incomplete data could lead to misguided conclusions.

The feedback approach is very important to data analytics. Instead of making the feedback process a one way top down directive, we can actively turn it into a conversation during a brainstorming session.

One memorable experience was with a client struggling to interpret data despite regular feedback. I organized interactive workshops tailored to their challenges. By fostering collaboration and hands-on exploration, they gained confidence and uncovered unique insights. The lesson: adapt feedback to suit the audience's needs, fostering collaboration drives meaningful outcomes.

Making feedbacks to become a dialogue is the way to go when addressing issues of the negative impacts of data. A good leader must listen attentively to all his subjects have to say and take note. He must be the last to speak, and in so doing removing the add long obstacle of a monologue that tends characterize such meetings.

It's essential to not only identify the issues but also provide support to your team. Consider offering additional resources or training to help them effectively implement your insights. This could involve hands-on workshops, one-on-one sessions, or providing supplementary materials. By supporting your team through the implementation of changes and clarifying any confusion, you create an environment where they feel empowered to make positive adjustments based on your feedback. This fosters a culture of continuous improvement and ensures that your analytics efforts yield beneficial outcomes.

One thing I have found helpful when evaluating impact is to see how it has affected the team's dynamics and how it has made us to be more efficient and effective.

I'd first pinpoint the exact problems contributing to this issue, whether it's biased algorithms or misinterpretations. Then, I'd gather input from diverse perspectives, including ethicists and stakeholders, to refine my approach. Implementing safeguards like regular audits and transparent documentation would be crucial to mitigate potential harm. Lastly, I'd continuously monitor the impact of my feedback and be ready to adjust my methods as needed. This iterative process ensures continuous improvement while minimizing harm.

Look for alternatives and creativity. Is there possible way to utilize data for different purposes? Data are always opening new perspectives (Window)

Imagine a scenario where a data analytics team identifies a pattern suggesting that certain demographic groups are less likely to be approved for loans. While providing feedback on this finding is crucial, it's equally important to offer support to the team responsible for implementing changes. This might involve conducting training sessions on fair lending practices, providing additional resources on inclusive decision-making, or facilitating discussions on ethical considerations in data analysis. By offering this support, the team can navigate the complexities of addressing bias in their algorithms effectively, ultimately leading to fairer outcomes for all applicants.
