Quotes

“Being data-driven doesn’t mean being a robot where you just look at the data and thereby make decisions blindly. You have to bring to bear human judgment and experience. But you should look at the data. You owe it yourself. You owe it to your customers, you owe it to your colleagues, and you owe it to the industry, to gather the best possible data, the most accurate, the most timely,  the highest quality data you have. Look at it, review it, analyze it, synthesize it, digest it, and then make some decisions.”
