How to bridge the gap between Data & Business

Many Data professionals are eager problem solvers.

Too eager, sometimes.

They dive in without grasping the business problem.

The result?

Little value.

Here are 3 tips for impactful data work:

🔍 1) Ask good questions

Try to understand the business goal. What are they trying to achieve?

🚫 2) Learn to push back and say no

Become a consultant, not just an executor. Saying no is hard. But in the long run, stakeholders appreciate that you only work on impactful projects.

🤑 3) Communicate value

Don't explain HOW you've built your dashboard or model. Instead, speak about WHY it's relevant to your audience.
