A balanced approach often yields the best results. First, actively listen to your team’s insights; their experiences and perspectives can illuminate aspects that data may overlook. However, do not dismiss data as it provides objective, quantifiable evidence that can guide decisions. Consider using a framework that weighs both elements: evaluate the reliability of the data, ensuring it aligns with your objectives, while also assessing the context of the team’s advice. Engage in discussions that encourage critical thinking, promoting an environment where data-driven insights and team input can coexist. Ultimately, aim for a decision that integrates both perspectives, enhancing your strategy's robustness.

in similar situations. I tend to not lose at all . So i try to balance things , by analyzing the data i have and translate them into information that is easy for the team to comprehend, after that i will try to convince the team with evidence ( the information i simplified) and they will all agree or at least the majority will . If they don’t i rather make the right decision based on data and numbers . because numbers is everything after all .

When faced with conflicting advice and data in decision-making, consider these steps: Clarify Objectives: Define the goals you want to achieve clearly. Evaluate Data Quality: Assess the credibility and relevance of the data being presented. Consult Experts: Seek insights from trusted individuals or specialists in the field. Consider Perspectives: Analyze the reasoning behind each piece of advice and how it aligns with your objectives. Weigh Pros and Cons: List the potential benefits and drawbacks of each option. Use a Decision-Making Framework: Apply a structured approach, like SWOT analysis or cost-benefit analysis. Trust Your Instincts: Sometimes, your intuition can guide you when data is inconclusive.

Gaps between recommendations and available data may arise whenever we can't ensure that insights and recommendations are built on a single, articulated, auditable source of truth. Data quality to build relevant insights should be a shared and upfront decision. However, you might not have overall control of this process in complex organizations or fast-paced environments. When the team's bits of advice don't square with the data, I move on this way: 1. Let the team be accountable for their work and move forward with the lower-impact and non-dependable actions 2. Ask for rework to emphasize 2 to 5 insights for each piece of advice 3. Require updates to identify the accurate data points supporting the insights
