Information & Data Management
Data is a board matter. Not a tooling matter.
Articles on data preparation, modeling, real-time analysis and the question of who owns a number.
Data quality is a symptom, not a cause. Treating it as a project means cleaning tables while leaving the condition that produced them untouched: nobody in the business owns the number that matters. The articles here run from data preparation through statistical modeling to real-time analytics, and at every stop they show that the bottleneck is rarely the technology.
A data strategy answers three questions before any system is chosen: which decision is supposed to improve, which number carries it, and who in the company owns that number by name. Only then does architecture become a sensible question. That order is the difference between a data strategy and a data project, and it belongs on the executive agenda, not in a department.
From the number to the name behind it: that is the work.
