There's nothing more frustrating than presenting business teams with a beautiful report filled with data, only to see them move in the opposite direction of what the data suggests. To overcome this, data leaders must incorporate psychology into their analysis and presentation, breaking down the data into its meaning, why it matters, and how it should be used. By understanding user motivations and testing hypotheses, data teams can create more impactful stories that resonate with business leaders. Data predicts behavior, but psychology influences it. By adding a dash of persuasion to data science, teams can increase their impact across the business and make better decisions about product development and marketing strategies. Ultimately, data leaders must influence people, not just present numbers, to truly magnify their output and drive business results.
