Just discovered Sparkwise last week. Haven’t used it yet, Wendy, have you (or anyone)?

Never be a slave to it, agreed. But being informed is only the first step. Taking action on it is what counts. Your co-author Katie Paine likes to say: Only measure what you can change. And Goethe said, Knowledge without action is meaningless.

But I take your overall point. the phrase should be: data-informed-leading-to-action. :~)

The goal is to become data-informed. Making sense of the data is much better than being a slave to it by being driven by it!
