Hello, data Shokunin-deshi!
A few years back, I sat across from a CTO who was beaming with pride about their "data-driven company." Whenever someone tells me they're data-driven, it raises red flags with a very high-pitched noise in my head. What does "data-driven" actually mean? Are you using data, or are you using the right data? Are you operating with excellence when it comes to leveraging it?
Executive Summary
In this edition, we transform your approach from data hoarding to data-centric thinking by:
✅ Applying the 5 W's framework to evaluate every piece of data before collection, not after
✅ Building a practical data decision framework that connects raw data to business impact
✅ Creating cost-aware data strategies that maximize signal while minimizing noise
✅ Implementing tools and processes that make data centricity the default organizational behavior
No framework artifact in this newsletter today, I am planning to share with the Figma board I use in the coming days, latest September 15.
