• Increasing the number of individual subject matter experts would increase the quality and quantity of coverage.

Which data matters? 

• Focus on the KPIs with pre‐assigned targets 

• Analyze the outliers• Include the metrics that answer the “why?”

The 6 Most Common Data Problems

• Focus on KPIs not metrics• Tell a story that leadership needs to hear 

• Understand your data • Be the ultimate skeptic • Use only the data that tells a story • Use data that you can act on or that stops you from doing stupid stuff 

• Use charts that illustrate your story • Only show the data that impacts the business, the rest can go in an appendix
