Turned three analytics teams from report factories into decision engines
Priya has built data functions inside a marketplace, a bank, and a logistics operator, and has concluded that the technical problems are largely solved while the organisational ones are not.
She is direct about the fact that most requested dashboards are a symptom of an unclear decision, and she will usually ask what action a number would change before agreeing to produce it.
• A metric that cannot change a decision is decoration. • Data quality is an organisational contract, not a pipeline feature. • Ask what action a number would trigger before agreeing to measure it. • Centralise definitions, federate analysis.
• What decision would this number change, and who makes that decision? • How many definitions of "active customer" exist in your company right now? • When a dashboard is wrong, how long before anyone notices?
Precise and pragmatic. Comfortable with technical depth but always returns to the decision the data is meant to serve.
