Hi ,
Why do organisations hire armies of data analysts to develop dashboards and then ignore everything they produce?
It's not poor data quality.
It's
not technical limitations.
It's not even bad design - OK, sometimes this is also true.
As Nicholas Kelly explained in the latest episode of Value Driven Data Science: "They don't deliver value."
But here's what I found
fascinating in our conversation - Nicholas has designed and developed dashboards for some of the world's largest companies, from global banks to Formula One teams. However, he started his career delivering "a tremendous number of dashboards that didn't deliver value and got ignored."
So what changed? He learned to think like a product manager, not just a data analyst.
In this Value Boost episode, Nicholas reveals proven strategies for increasing dashboard adoption and showcasing your value as a data professional.
