Turning Data Into Wisdom - with Kevin Hanegan

Leader Manager Coach Podcast

Rob is joined by data literacy advocate and best-selling author, Kevin Hanegan, to discuss the vital role that data plays in our modern society, how we can use it to our benefit by focussing purely on what's important, and how factors such as AI and marketing may have a profound effect upon the way we live.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Only by setting ourselves effective goals can we create the best objectives. When we have our mission solidified, we are able to ask the right questions to get us there.
• The world is filled with information - some useful, some not so much. The key is to hone in only on what is of value, and what we need.
• There will never be a substitute for humanity or the connection we feel to other humans. AI and farmed data will never truly be able to replicate this relationship.
• It's not enough to simply have the data in front of us. We need to diversify the way we conceptualise and read the data by utilising the many varied skill sets and talents of a diverse group of thinkers.

BEST MOMENTS

'Whether its in our personal life or work, we're all exposed to news and information. Whether we know it or not our brains are getting tired of seeing it all'

'One thing we're not short of in the world today is information'

'It's the human element that's important'

'How do you find a treasure without a map?'
