Today’s coffee companion is a data person.
We talked about:
- the huge great hype machine that is going on around LLMs and machine learning
- the lack of qualitative data in business and organisations
- Goodhart’s and Campbell’s laws
- the strange cycles that emerge around financial periods
- ownership of data (or, more often, the lack thereof)
- how some towns in the North never recovered from the Thatcher era
- explaining complex things to senior leaders
- The Peter Principle
- Being Mortal
- the systemic challenges of social care
- the trials and tribulations of being a school governor
- this remarkable geo-data visualisation by the ONS
100 is a goal, not a limit. I’d love to meet you for coffee either online or in the thing we laughingly refer to as “the real world”. Sign up at calendly.com/matt-ballantine
