They don’t really know what they are talking about, but you nod along anyway Yes but shouldn’t we inform them to help along (hypothetically speaking) often the leader or the head may take offense assumption, if the correction will have impact would be carefully presented by giving the feedback and present it in a way they can comprehend , this would be a great help to the leaders and the businesses. Or politely say I Will present you the effects of these at your convenience . This doesn’t offend anyone who is smart enough to pose changes (in my business view)

Yup stakeholder management is crucial because you don't want to make them seem dumb, but you also need to bring them along in the journey. It is a tough thing to do and learn!

Can you identify an enterprise where the executives don't already consider it to be "data driven?"

Is there a reliable method of determining the extent that an enterprise is "data driven" today? It seems to me that responses to these two questions in terms that are easily grasped by executive management are a key to initiating programs that generate tangible value by improving the content, quality and delivery of data available to to the enterprise.

The biggest thing I do with organisations is a Data Maturity or Data Capability assessment to determine where the company is lagging in certain ways. Its really effective for planning future initiatives
