Sharing the power of data through storytelling and building strong partnerships is crucial for inspiring others to believe in its value. In product development, data can help make informed decisions at every stage, from setting up a problem to closing out a solution. Data focuses minds by establishing what you do know and what you don’t know, sparks creativity by bringing new information into the room, and encourages participation from the whole team. However, getting to this place requires understanding how and where decisions are being made and knowing the best way to share insights with your team. Strong partnerships take time, are nuanced, and personal, but they're essential for inspiring others to believe in data's power. Crafting a narrative with data is also crucial, as it can make or break the impact of analysis. By building strong relationships and telling compelling stories with data, teams can make better, more collaborative decisions that ultimately lead to better products.
