Tracking and Decisions

Yesterday I was sharing my thoughts on tracking business success. For some reason tracking anything seems to be prerequesite to achieving high performance in an area. I think it is because it helps people to make accurate data driven decisions.

Better data equals better decisions.

  1. That's true. Nothing compares to an educated decision.
    Unless it is about popcorn, you can decide to eat that anytime.

  2. Let's not be too quick to rule out popcorn data! What if we could construct a graph on heat to kernels popped ratio? This could result in a 25%-50% decrease in unpopped kernels!

  3. Well... Let's start that graph! We have kernels to be popped! :)

  4. I think you need to trend the different ways to pop the kernals too. In my experience the heat to kernal popping ratio is much higher when done in a pot on the stove where any other methods are less likely to produce the same successful results.

  5. Exactly Christopher Lawrence. Exactly! And a good shake of the pan can alter the outcome of the kernel conditions.
