The Data Diet -- A New Methodology for Peak Performance

The key to explaining IT is SIMPLIFY, SIMPLIFY, SIMPLIFY. Less is better. But, why do you have to explain what you do in simple terms? Because you need money to fund your projects. And the people allocating budget to you are often not people who grew up living and breathing IT the same way you have. Therefore, you have to explain it to them in terms they can understand with benefits they believe are important. How can you do this?

What if there was a way to explain data and information architecture in a way most people could not only understand, but also embrace as important, worthwhile corporate initiatives? With the simple methodology of The Data Diet, I will show you how to break down common misunderstandings of information management, how to evaluate the data your company is taking in – not all data is created equal – and how to use that data to make your company perform at optimal levels.

You see, data is fuel for your organization, and like any premiere athlete knows, the type of fuel you put in, store, and use dictates your outcome. Join me as we dive deeper into The Data Diet and get ready to help your company reach its peak performance!
