Pathways to Progress in Business

Making any business data simple enough to stick (on a note!) | Data Scientist | AI-Startup & Business Advisor
A little bit of a busy week with Diwali and Halloween falling in the same week alongside the realization that there are less than 60 days left in the year!
This week's posts were a bit eclectic. Started the week with an inspirational post on not stopping when the road bends. The next post discussed A/B Testing in the context of discount offers, followed by a post on the difference between correlation and relationship. On Wednesday, I shared a short video on the Story of Diwali followed by PUMPKIN biases on Thursday. Rounded off the week with a post on percentages vs. percentiles analysis.
LinkedIn Observations for This Week:
This week's biggest observation for LinkedIn is that it does not matter how good your content is or how hard you worked on it; if it does not resonate immediately, it will be ignored. Sadly, LinkedIn will not even let it reach your own followers. So, adjusting your own expectations of LinkedIn is critical.
The beauty of this is that while you might not get a lot of impressions on your posts, if you are active on LinkedIn and have a decent network of folks that you interact with regularly, you will get a much higher engagement ratio.
If you're aiming for just high impressions, there are particular types of posts that you can create that are almost certain to be very popular. However, if you're creating a specific brand on LinkedIn to attract potential clients or to have a thought leadership presence, it might be a question of playing the game between more impressions or more engagement and quality.
I am posting a much shorter version on LinkedIn but detailed articles with calculations, descriptions, etc. are still available on my SubStack Newsletter.
I will only be sending out the Weekly Roundup via email going forward so that you don't get overwhelmed.

Do You Stop When the Road Bends?
Dr.Kruti Lehenbauer Oct 27
It’s about mastering the turns, making the hard choices, and pushing forward through uncertainty. The journey does not end because the path is difficult. It ends when we stop taking the next step forward.
Comment by Neha Kabra : When the road bends, it’s easy to see these shifts as detours. But often, these turns reveal new possibilities we hadn’t anticipated. In business, that could mean discovering an untapped market or uncovering skills we never knew we had.
Are You Sending Out Discount Emails?
Dr.Kruti Lehenbauer Oct 28
Are You Sending Out Discount Emails? Are you sure it is the right one to send? With the Holidays upon us, we see sales everywhere, every day, every inbox! As a business owner, you're concerned with one thing. That email recipient should buy something.
Comment by Kristyan Mjolsnes : I love how you’re focused on digging deeper into campaign goals and impact analysis. It brings clarity to which variables truly matter and lets you parse the information to make strategic decisions. Data holds real value when thoughtfully analyzed, as you’ve outlined here!
What Do You Really Mean?
Dr.Kruti Lehenbauer Oct 29
In business as in life, precision in language is crucial. Two terms often used interchangeably are "correlation" and "relationship." But are they really the same? Let us explore this important distinction and its implications for business decision-making by using an example of the relationship between Leadership Styles and Employee Satisfaction.

Comment by Michael Kainatsky : It's important to use these terms accurately, especially when interpreting data or communicating insights to stakeholders.
The Story of Diwali
Dr.Kruti Lehenbauer Oct 30
Diwali and Halloween on the Same Day? Whatever shall I do? I ask myself. And I found the answer at 4:30 AM yesterday. Tell people the story of Diwali in a new way. So...**drumroll please**: Presenting a Ram-Minion version of Diwali.
Comment by Vladimir Funticov : Cool post; cool video AND i learned something new today. Love on all fronts!!! Great seeing that creativity flow. Wishing you a Happy Halloween and a very joyous Diwali!
Pumpkin Pies or Pumpkin Bias?
Dr.Kruti Lehenbauer Oct 31
Happy Halloween! Everybody has heard of Pumpkin Pie. So, today the PUMPKIN is dressing up as Bias.
Comment by Joe Oquist?? : A very creative way to remember the types of biases in Social Media Polls - PUMPKIN! ??????
Your 75% Compliance Might Still Not be Enough
Dr.Kruti Lehenbauer Nov 1
Achieving a 75% compliance rate may seem impressive, but it doesn’t guarantee that your organization is performing close to the top of its field. Understanding the difference between percentages and percentiles can provide better insights into your position relative to competitors.
Comment by Prabhakar V : Achieving compliance is just the beginning. To stay competitive, organizations must look beyond mere numbers and understand where they stand relative to peers. Percentiles tell a story of positioning of how we measure up in an evolving landscape. It’s a shift from ‘how much’ to ‘how well’ we’re performing within our industry. This perspective encourages us to set goals that push us towards leadership, not just adequacy. True growth happens when we see compliance as a floor to build from, not a ceiling to stay under.
