The Mindset for Data Driven Strategy Work.

In the future, we will only be able to develop and implement successful strategies with the help of data.

People Power

Since Einstein published his theory of relativity, we know that the gravity produced by massive objects attracts other objects; and the greater the mass, the greater the force of attraction. It is the same in strategy projects-every participant has their own mass and their own impact on team synergy.

The Importance of Data

At the moment, we only use about five percent of the data that we collect. Changing this situation is a key driver for success in all kinds of strategy projects.

This Guide

Changes in data usage bring about a new equilibrium, and the chances of success using current methods and behaviors change with it. This book explains how to master these changes and provides you with all the tools you need.

A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.
