Data brought a slowly moving revolution to the business world. While it has completely changed, and may still change, the way we approach processes, many companies still struggle with it. There's an implicit understanding that being data-driven is beneficial, yet no one can quite pinpoint how to become data-driven. Most organizations build data analytics like they would create any new department. It's a somewhat isolated project that's intended to provide valuable insights to others. Unfortunately, such an approach can lead to many organizational errors that make data teams inefficient. A common red flag in a business is if the data team produces little to no impact on daily operations. It may become visible due to an internal complaint or through day-to-day operation analysis. However, there are ways to avoid this issue.

The Miami practice sessions lent some validity to Mercedes’ arguments, with George Russell and Lewis Hamilton much more competitive throughout Friday’s track time. Russell ended the day with the fastest time, with Hamilton in fourth. While the team made setup changes that resulted in a dip in performance from … [Read more...] about Why Miami practice has given Mercedes increased hope
