Data-driven decision-making is essential in all organizations, but using low-quality data can potentially be more harmful than using no data at all. Unreliable or outdated data can have huge negative consequences for even the best-laid plans, especially if you’re not aware there were issues with the data in the first place. That’s why data observability is so important: It’s a proactive approach to ensuring your data remains accurate, consistent, and trustworthy. But how does one achieve it?
The death of traditional crisis management: Why speed isn’t enough anymore
