?? Quantification Fixations ??

?? Quantification Fixations ??

Imagine you’re leading an organization and deeply committed to making it “data-driven.” Quickly, you face a dilemma:

After consulting with data scientists, you discover the questions you most want answered can’t be measured—either because the data doesn’t exist or because collecting it would be too complex. Feeling stuck, you opt to measure simpler, more accessible data for quick wins while hoping to figure out how to tackle the more challenging questions later.

Could this approach harm your organization?

The answer: Possibly.
