Data Breakthroughs - Episode 2: When Teams Can't Agree on Customer Numbers
Real-world data problem solving in action! Philipp Loringhoven and host Lior Barak tackle a community-submitted challenge about conflicting metrics between marketing and sales teams.
Problem Category: Data Governance
Runtime: 43 minutes
The Challenge: Marketing and sales teams report significantly different customer acquisition numbers, causing meetings to focus on defending data rather than strategic planning.
The Solution: Establish clear metric ownership, create KPI definition libraries, and implement certified data layers to prevent conflicting sources.
Key Takeaways:
90% of data problems are communication problems, not technical issues
Management must enforce central numbers and pick battles wisely
Small companies should limit themselves to 5-8 core KPIs to avoid chaos
