Numbers Drive Decisions

Let’s say that you’re attending a meeting at your company, and its purpose is to decide on the action plan for the rest of the year.

What will you start with?

Last operations? New ideas? Internal issues? Improvement recommendations?

Wrong!

You’ll be better off with numbers, most specifically, stats.

Numbers help us realize what’s going well as opposed to what’s not.

When everyone knows the numbers, it’s easier to think together and figure out new ideas to evolve in the right direction.

Numbers, along with facts, are tangible.

And what’s tangible helps us make better estimates.

Having a meeting soon? Introduce it with stats.
