In Episode 28 of FutureForward, we cut through the noise and uncover what real data-driven decision-making truly looks like—beyond tools, dashboards, and buzzwords.From understanding why decisions often lean on opinions instead of insights, to exploring how clean data, organizational culture, and the right questions transform outcomes, this episode deep-dives into how businesses can actually use data to drive strategy, uncover patterns, and deliver impact.We also explore the pitfalls of vanity metrics, how biases distort insights, why visualization choices matter, and how business analysts act as the bridge between leadership vision and actionable intelligence. Packed with real-world examples, this conversation is a masterclass on how effective data practices lead to stronger decisions, better customer experiences, and long-term competitive advantage.🎙️ Hosted by Abhishek Srivastava, Founder & CEO, Techcanvass🌟 About Our GuestPriyank Aneja, Senior manger🔗 Follow Priyank Aneja on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/priyank-aneja-b352909a/⏰ Timestamps00:00 – Introduction & Episode Overview02:00 – Guest Introduction and Professional Background06:30 – How Curiosity Led to a Career in Data10:15 – What Data-Driven Decision Making Really Means15:20 – Clean Data, Culture, & Asking the Right Questions21:00 – Key Elements for Building a Data-Driven Organization27:30 – Vanity Metrics vs Meaningful Metrics32:10 – Real Project Example: Improving Customer Satisfaction through Data38:00 – Visualization Choices & Avoiding Misinterpretation43:45 – Tackling Bias & Staying Neutral in Data Analysis50:20 – Role of BAs: Connecting Leadership Vision to Data Insights55:10 – How Clients Can Build Better Data-Driven Practices59:40 – Final Thoughts & Closing Insights🎧 Listen Now:Spotify: https://tnvs.in/335k9bf9Apple Podcasts: https://tnvs.in/y8zndc9z🌐 Explore Techcanvass India’s AI-First Skilling Platform:https://techcanvass.com📩 For collaborations & inquiries:abhishek@techcanvass.comIf this episode gave you clarity on what true data-driven decision making looks like, don’t forget to LIKE, SHARE & SUBSCRIBE for more conversations on AI, Business Analysis, Product Management, and Tech careers.#DataDrivenDecision #DataDrivenDecisionMaking #FutureForward #Techcanvass #BusinessAnalytics #DataAnalytics #DecisionMaking.
