Description
"Data wont drive your transformation. But data can inspire it. Culture beats algorithms every time."-Seth Godin, entrepreneur, blogger, and author of This Is Strategy: Make Better Plans
"Ive seen firsthand that the hardest part of building the future often isnt technology, but culture. Data Inspired is an essential roadmap for leaders who want to move beyond incremental optimization and inspire transformative innovation that truly matters."-Sebastian Thrun, founder, Google X and Udacity
"Data is the fuel of AI and, more importantly, better decisions and smarter actions. I love this books focus on becoming data-driven, with maxims like culture first, tools second, and data as a business driver, not a technical capability. We needed Wernickes advice a long time ago, but finally we have it."-Thomas H. Davenport, distinguished professor, Babson College; fellow, MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy; and author of Competing on Analytics, All In on AI, and Working with AI
"For leaders, entrepreneurs, and investors who suspect theyre drowning in information but starving for meaning, Data Inspired is an indispensable compass."-Guy Spier, author, The Education of a Value Investor
"Wernickes refreshingly serious new book challenges readers to move beyond the myth that data deliver clarity on their own. With nuance and a healthy respect for complexity, Data Inspired illuminates why organizations must embrace evidence while resisting simplistic, data-driven quick fixes. His thoughtful analysis underscores a premise I strongly endorse: the value of data is realized in cultures that nurture inquiry, candor and listening in teams with diverse perspectives. A persuasive and timely invitation to rethink how we learn, decide, and adapt in a world awash with information, this book will help leaders and teams reframe what it means to be evidence-based." -Amy C. Edmondson, Novartis Professor of Leadership, Harvard Business School, and author of Right Kind of Wrong: The Science of Failing Well
