Data Focus
DATA DRIVEN DECISION MAKING
“Discover What Is Possible”
“The goal is to transform data into information and information into insight.”Carly Fiorina, Executive and president of Hewlett-Packard Co. in 1999. Chairwoman in 2000.
…Errors using inadequate data are much less than those using no data at all.
- Charles Babbage British Mathematician and Inventor, 1791-1871
Show percentages of the whole
Make “true” comparisons easier
Avoids the pitfall of averages allowing for “outliers” to skew the “data picture”
Great for showing summary of results
Easier to show trend data
Establish your baseline and set your goals.
