How do you connect and make sense of a vast amount of data? By working backwards from the specific problem you're trying to solve. "Simplify the process, start with one product line or one geography. Once you solve the problem, people become believers, and it’s amazing how much easier it is to get data once the success stories start rolling in." - David Blonski David dropped this insight, and a ton of others, in our Innovators at Work session a couple weeks back. #datadriven #successpath #innovation #innovatorsatwork

🚀 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬: 𝐀 𝐋𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐖𝐖𝐈𝐈 During World War II, Allied forces faced a critical challenge: 𝐻𝑜𝑤 𝑡𝑜 𝑎𝑟𝑚𝑜𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑖𝑟 𝑏𝑜𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑒𝑛ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑣𝑖𝑣𝑎𝑏𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑦. Enter Abraham Wald, a brilliant mathematician whose unconventional approach to data analysis saved countless lives and reshaped strategic thinking. 📊 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦: Analysts examined returning bombers and noted the areas most frequently hit by enemy fire. Initially, the plan was to reinforce these areas. 💡 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐝'𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭: Wald noticed a critical flaw—this analysis only included planes that survived their missions. He proposed that the untouched areas on returning planes were the most vulnerable, as hits in these spots likely downed the aircraft. 🔍 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: By recommending reinforcement of these "undamaged" areas, Wald demonstrated the power of considering missing data—a concept now fundamental in data analytics known as survivorship bias. --- 📈 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: We must always question what our data represents and, crucially, what it doesn't. Wald's story reminds us to: 𝟏. 𝐈𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐲 𝐁𝐢𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬: Ensure our datasets don't just reflect the survivors but also consider the absent. 𝟐. 𝐀𝐬𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: Look beyond the obvious to uncover hidden patterns and insights. 𝟑. 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲: Apply unconventional thinking to solve complex problems.
