Gut Feel to Gold Standard: Data-Driven Decision Making in Project Environments

Presenter:

Paper Summary

Everybody likes to think that they are making informed decisions based on reliable data that's aligned to project outcomes, but how can we be sure, and are we in fact leaving too much to chance? In an era where data is abundant, relying on intuition is a luxury we can no longer afford. This presentation will discuss the potential and power of data-driven decision-making (DDDM), demonstrating how project governance and control professionals can rethink use of data to drive away from uncertainty and closer to predictability. We'll discuss how to leverage strategic insights, identify leading indicators, and build a culture of sharing and trusting data to assist in elevating project performance, mitigate risks, and increase the fundamental value proposition of project governance and controls in the real world. Drew will walk through methods to assist in strategically identifying, collecting, collerating, and interpreting the right data to sharpen oversight, increase predictability, proactively address deviations and embrace the data heavy environments that we are all navigating.
