Data, Stakeholders, and Process

When the team gets bigger, the decisions get harder. More people involved, more data on the table, higher stakes when you get it wrong.

In this mini episode from Episode 9 of People Are the Worst, Dana asks how to think about decisions that are getting more complex as her team grows. Lucy walks through the three factor framework she teaches Elevate clients for any complex decision: data, stakeholders, and process. Lindsey adds a reframe on intuition that changes how you think about being data driven.

What you'll get:

• How to know how much data is the right amount (and why too much is just as bad as too little)
• The role of qualitative data, and why people anecdotes are often more useful than charts
• Why intuition is part of the data set, not a replacement for it
• How to identify which stakeholders need to be in the decision and which just need to know about it
• Why mixing decision processes is one of the most common ways complex decisions go sideways

A short listen with a framework you can use this week.
