Why Good Data Is About People Not Technology

  • Every dataset is shaped by human decisions about what to measure, what to ignore, and what was worth the effort to capture
  • Data can reflect behaviour and incentives and not always reality itself - systems like CRM can sometimes tell us more about how people work than about customers
  • AI can only learn from the reality we record - better AI starts with better data foundations, stronger governance, and an understanding of what is missing

Julie Siezing, Director, Global Data & Analytics, GN
