Data revelations: the thrill, skepticism, and power of information
Nothing beats the thrill of crafting a stunning data visualization that lays out all your aspirations. It's simply the best feeling in the world!
But remember :
Giving someone a piece of data is like telling them a secret - you can't expect them to be satisfied with just one.
Put any reasonably clever person in front of data, and they'll find a way to discount, inject doubt, or downright discredit it
Trusting data is like trusting a mystery box – if you don't know where it came from, how it was collected, stored, or transformed, consider that trust shattered.
Most data stories out there are like a bowl of cherries – picked, chosen, and often misleading.
People tend to showcase data that aligns with their narrative, not necessarily the whole picture. It's not about being bad; it's just human nature's selective spotlight on favorable outcomes.
Never grab a piece of data for someone without asking why. That "why" is your superhero move – it can save you from days of unnecessary trouble.
Data doesn't craft strategies; it simply offers insights. "Following the data" is just a fancier way of saying you're navigating your interpretation of a small chunk of information
Sometimes, fixing what's broken beats hunting for hidden truths in the data jungle.
Actionable insights : the golden ticket question here is, "What changes if we know the result?" It's the starting point that turns data insights into actionable plans.
