Six weeks. Six lessons. One goal: helping operators use data without hiring a data science department.
We’ve had the same conversation with hundreds of leaders and business operators.
It usually starts like this:
“We have a lot of data.”
“We know we should be more data-driven.”
“But honestly… we don’t know where to start.”
Then comes the quiet part:
“Is this really for companies like ours?”
Short answer: yes.
Long answer: especially for companies like yours.
Over the next six weeks, we’re publishing Data 101 for Business Leaders — a practical, operator-first guide to:
- Moving from instinct to measurable insight
- Escaping spreadsheet chaos
- Designing dashboards that drive decisions
- Automating intelligently (without AI hype)
- Building a culture where data actually gets used
This is not a technical series.
It’s not about Python.
It’s not about machine learning.
It’s not about building a data lake for fun.
It’s about:
- Making decisions faster
- Removing arguments about numbers
- Seeing patterns before competitors do
- Turning reporting into advantage
Each week covers one core idea:
Week 1 — Why Data Matters
Week 2 — Understanding the Data Stack
Week 3 — Data Quality & Governance
Week 4 — Dashboards & KPIs That Work
Week 5 — From Reporting to Forecasting
Week 6 — Building a Data-Driven Culture
Each post:
- Under 10 minutes
- No mumba-jumba jargon
- Built for operators
If you’ve ever said:
“We have the data, but we’re not using it well.”
This series is for you.
Week 1 drops Tuesday 2/17/2026!
