Data for Dummies: A Crash Course for Non-Technical PMs (with Mo Hallaba)

The Product Manager

In today's data-driven landscape, organizations often find themselves drowning in a sea of data, yet struggling to glean actionable insights from it. Many companies are eager to label themselves as data-centric, but the reality is that not everyone is equally adept at interpreting and utilizing data effectively. Often, insights are fragmented, and the analytics presented do not provide the full picture needed for informed decision-making.
In this episode, Hannah Clark is joined by Mo Hallaba—CEO of Datawisp—to discuss the gaps between the vast amount of data collected by organizations and the efficacy of its use, while also offering practical solutions for better data management and visualization.
