You’ve probably been asked to be more “data-driven”.  But where do you start?  Having more data doesn’t necessarily make you a better decision-maker.  In fact, excess data may be slowing you down. You don’t need more data; you need the right data.

This workshop provides an overview of how to shift from being data-driven to being decision-driven.

Data-driven organizations focus on numbers.  Decision-driven organizations are able to quickly transform data into actions that drive results.

Workshop outcomes:

Improve fact-based decision making and actions by

• Understanding and managing the three key biases that inhibit data-driven decision making
• Quickly defining the data needed to make a decision so that you spend more time thinking about what the data is telling you and less time searching for it
• Turning data into actions that drive decision making
• Creating reports that provide answers rather than numbers thus significantly decreasing the time it takes to make a decision
• Creating simple, logical, fact-driven recommendations and presentations that speed up and drive audience decision-making

Workshop components

• Rethinking how we think – Provides an overview of how our brains process data and information.  Introduces common thinking and decision making errors/biases and shows how traditional ways of reviewing and presenting data actually contribute to those errors.
• Rethinking communication – Introduces the “Value through Information” model which moves leaders from simply summarizing facts and figures to telling a comprehensive data-driven story.  Focuses on building an evidence-based argument that drives decisions and actions.
• Rethinking our approach – Focuses on honing in on the data that is relevant to making a decision.  Improves leader efficiency by providing a structured approach to exploring data.
• Rethinking reporting – Introduces Avail Advisor’s “Decision-based reporting” approach.  Decision-based reporting organizes information around answers and decisions rather than simply providing a data dump.
