@RFosterFletcher Wow, that's pretty interesting. Once the garbage is in, it is very hard to get the garbage out. Maybe impossible.

@jessfraz That is too funny. My kids love when I come to a stoplight and nobody is in front of me because they know what happens when it turns green! I have a Mach e Rally but I love the Rivian R1S as well.

Most Dashboard Requests Are Just One-Off Questions in Disguise

Let’s get real—most people don’t need a full-fledged dashboard. What they actually want is a quick, one-time answer to a burning question. New clients usually start by describing their dream dashboard, but more often than not, what they’re really after is clarity on a single issue. Don’t over-engineer a sprawling tool for what’s really a one-off request. It’s all about recognizing when simplicity and speed are the keys to delivering value.

Don’t Just Answer Questions, Solve Problems

You were not made to be a human SQL terminal. When your stakeholders asks for a specific data point, what they really need is a solution to a problem. Don't just be reactive - be the strategic partner who excavates the underlying business challenge Instead of racing off to pull the numbers they ask for, hit pause. Ask them, “What’s the real challenge here?” Work with them to identify the problem first, and then use data to deliver an insight that drives action. Level up from data janitor to insights orchestrator.

Finished reading Eliyahu Goldratt's "It's not Luck." Reminded me of the work I did years ago on Infinite Segmentation. Read "The Goal" first but this one is worth a read as well.
