Talk #1: How to *Actually* Become Data Driven
People often say things like "become data driven" without explaining what that means or how to do it. This talk will cover everything you need to know about ACTUALLY becoming data driven, and from first principles. No bullshit, no hand-wavy sketches, no fancy technology, no buzzwords. Just a small set of effective ideas, that — for what it's worth, turn out to be the same ideas that Amazon, Koch Industries, and Toyota used to become data driven, back in their day.
