Why More Data Still Leads to Bad Decisions, and What Leaders Can Do About It

This keynote explores why organizations can have more dashboards, more AI, and more analytical firepower than ever before, and still make poor decisions.

The issue is not access to data. The issue is how leaders use data to validate decisions they have already made. This is Decision Laundering, and it's more common than any organization would like to admit.
