019: The power of data-driven decision making with Linda McIver
Are you wondering if you have enough, or the right data for your decision making?
As we rise up in our leadership careers, the one defining feature of all leadership is that we make more and more decisions. But how we make those decisions is crucial.
In today’s Leading Women in Tech podcast I’m interviewing Dr Linda McIver, the founder and Executive Director of the Australian Data Science Education Institute on the power of data driven decision making, her three principles for making decisions, and the danger of confirmation bias when we use data. We dig into everything from decisions in organisations to decisions about COVID, and of course, we can’t help but touch a little on decisions around building an equitable, diverse and inclusive workforce.
So let’s dive in.
