ABSTRACT

Data have always been important. The collection of data is a critical step in the scientific method. Data are particularly important today with the highly uncertain times we face. We have Big Data, Little Data, data, data, data…… Using data to make progress is possibly more important today than ever before. This opportunity is a direct result of the ubiquitous availability of information technology and software to collect and analyze data. Properly used data can help monitor, control, and improve product, service and process performance. The ready availability of data is particularly important in these uncertain times. Processes, products and services vary. This variation adds uncertainty and increases risk. Data properly collected, analyzed and combined with subject matter knowledge increases product, process and service knowledge. Knowledge reduces risk and uncertainty. The relationships between uncertainty, variation, and risk and the use of data are discussed and illustrated with several case studies that show how the use of data greatly decreased uncertainty and lead to useful solutions and progress. “Data Pedigree” is introduced as an effective tool for assessing data integrity and data quality. Uncertainty in our world will likely continue to grow. Adopting a data-centric mindset will help position organizations for stronger performance in the future.
