How do you initiate change within a system containing many thousands of people and millions of bytes of data? During my time as a data specialist at American Family Insurance, it became clear that we had to move away from the way things had been done in the past. So you can probably imagine: The company manages a lot of data.

In our world of digital analytics often these things are called dashboards… I had to shrink the size to make it fit the available screen, but even if you saw it at full glorious resolution, I'm sure you'll very quickly come to the conclusion that this is just a data puke.

I worry about data’s last-mile gap a lot. As a lover of data-influenced decision making, perhaps you worry as well. Your biggest asset in closing that last-mile gap is the way you present the data.

I want to constantly be in the know of new and more clever ways of working with data, tools that are often solutions to problems we don't know we have yet or tools that are sometimes seeking problems to solve!! Well not crap… lots of data that no one cared about or actioned. More desire to be data driven.
