In this issue - Spring 2021
This quarter, Innovate focuses on why a data strategy can be so valuable. We present three posts on the role of data strategy in:
Enhancing management capacity to help set the stage for innovation,
Guiding investments in data infrastructure, and
Helping decision makers avoid costly mistakes due to confirmation bias.
In a fourth post, we turn to the pandemic and the question of how its economic impact varies over time, industry, and location. In a public dashboard, we present a new metric of the pandemic’s daily economic impact by county that can help firms to gauge the pandemic and recovery’s impacts according to their sales and staffing footprints.
Even as the pandemic subsides in the US, it rages on elsewhere. Our thoughts are with our colleagues, clients, and the broader community whose families continue to be severely affected by this crisis.
My team and I hope you find this content valuable and welcome your feedback.
