So many organisations are drowning in data but starved of insight. The assumption is simple: more data = better decisions. But in practice, it often does the opposite. Past a point, the extra volume doesn’t add clarity - it fragments into competing stories, creating divergence where we need focus. The difference comes from the lens we apply. How we frame, contextualise, and embed the evidence is what makes decisions stronger. Where have you seen the balance tip - when more data sharpened decisions, and when it only added noise?

We talk a lot about data and intelligence, but the real magic happens in between – knowledge. Because data alone doesn’t drive action. It’s only when we start connecting the dots, adding context, and asking WHY things are happening that decisions actually get smarter. Every company’s data journey looks different. Some are still wrangling sources. Others are swimming in dashboards. But the goal is the same – to reach that point where data turns into knowledge that empowers better decisions.💡💡💡 Our guide, From Data to Intelligence, breaks down how organizations move from collecting information to creating understanding. And that's what sparks intelligent action, not just reports. If you’ve ever felt the gap between knowing and doing – this guide digs right into that: 👉 https://lnkd.in/epDVYKCc

We all talk about being data-driven - but how often do we ask who’s driving the data? Every research brief, survey design, and interpretation involves judgement calls. Even “objective” analysis is shaped by the questions we choose to ask (and the ones we don’t). The real craft of insight lies in how we choose to frame and interpret it - acknowledging our own filters, not pretending they don’t exist. In the end, good insight isn’t free from bias. It’s just bias that’s been made visible.
