NOVEMBER 9, 2021

How does your organization define and display its metrics? I believe many organizations are not defining and displaying metrics in a way that benefits them most. If an organization goes through the trouble of measuring and reporting on a metric, the analysis ought to include all the information needed to evaluate that metric effectively. A number, by itself, does not provide any indication of whether the result is good or bad.

When it comes to using data, many organizations are reminiscent of the famous poem “Rime of the Ancient Mariner”: “Water, water, every where, Nor any drop to drink”. Data is everywhere, but it seldom seems to quench the thirst for smarter decisions. (As a side-note, this poem originated the phrase “albatross around your neck” — which is how a lot of CIOs and CTOs feel with both the data and expectations.

Metadata has been defined as the who, what, where, when, why, and how of data. Without the context given by metadata, data is just a bunch of numbers and letters. And unless you love numbers and letters for their own sake, that’s not all that valuable. But going on a rampage to define, categorize, and otherwise metadata-ize your data doesn’t necessarily give you the key to the value in your data.
