OM DETTA AVSNITT
Jason sits down with Sebastian Wernicke, data scientist and author of Data Inspired: Building an Organizational Culture of Inquiry for Lasting Transformation, to talk about why "data-driven" companies so often end up trapped inside what they already know instead of discovering what their customers actually need. They get into the sports car company that ignored its own sales numbers, the one question that reveals whether your company can actually handle being wrong, and how Jason's own newsletter taught him he'd built himself a very comfortable cage.
