Kaffe Logistiks: Gathering Data

hwms.coverartConsulting.  You’re just giving your opinion.  That’s it.  Nothing more.

And there’s the rub.  In the modern day and age, we collect ever bit of data we can and call it good.  Yet.  Yet.  Yet.  Data can mislead.  It can make you believe you know something when you don’t It can confuse when it should inform.  Therefore, we need to know something about gathering data scientifically Fifth episode in a series on the ins and outs of tech consulting.
