#54 ⚽ DataLiteracy and Football in Qlik Sense
⚽ talking about #dataliteracy and Football in #Qlik
Who's the best Goalscorer, but above all what is "being the best" #dailyqlikchallenge 54 ...
I had a great talk yesterday with Boris Michel and of course we talked of Data literacy, saying it's an important part of the work for a Qlik or BI consultant
We came to talk about decision makers, concluding the same thing but for other aspects
Decision makers need to understand and talk about data, but also have the ability to challenge what they are seeing
It's true for everyone, at the end
Look at my sample app about footbal and goalscorer :
After this week's match against ukraine, every French media was saying :
📢 Olivier Giroud becomes second top scorer ahead of michel platini with 42 goals !
I said ok, great (I don't care about football 😉)
Then I realised that I lacked the information to decide whether I agree or disagree with it.
Numbers are just numbers.
A great insight needs a good indicator and context
Giroud has one more goal than Platini, ok. But he played 22 more matches ! In my opinion, Platini is still better. When he comes on the field he scores more often
This logic applies everywhere, especially in the age of disinformation. And it's the same for business.
What are your thoughts on this ?
Cheers
