“In today’s data-rich environments, it can be tempting to measure broadly, then cherry-pick the results that seem most compelling. But just because data are widely available doesn’t mean everything is meaningful. In fact, the breadth of data availability is precisely why business leaders need to be more specific and discerning when choosing what to measure to improve outcomes.” Joel Shapiro, Academic Director
