Why it matters
In data, the problem is almost never the tool. It is that two areas mean different things by customer and neither wants to give ground. You can install the most modern platform on the market and still have three sales figures in the same meeting.
When I assess a data initiative, the first question is which concrete decision gets made with this and who makes it. If the answer is that it provides visibility, I already know the dashboard will be abandoned within a year. Visibility is not an objective, it is a side effect.
What usually goes wrong
Where it usually breaks is capture. A lot gets invested in processing and nothing at the point where a person fills in the form, in a hurry, with no validation and no idea what it is for. No model fixes data that was born wrong; it only propagates it with more authority.
What to watch
- Which concrete decision changes because of this and who makes it: without that, it is one more dashboard.
- Whether definitions are agreed across areas or each one brings its own to the meeting.
- Where the data comes from and what happens when the source system changes or fails.
How I read this entry
I would use it to review the full cycle, from where the data is captured to where somebody acts. The problem is almost never in the analytics but at the start: someone filling a field by hand, with no validation, in a hurry, not knowing what it is used for later.
