Overview
Company leaders need to keep a watchful eye on the economy
and how micro- and macro-environments affect their business. Successful leaders
are always a step ahead. They stay there by leading with data-driven decisions
that allow their companies to anticipate and respond to challenges. In this
module, you’ve learned how information is key in making decisions and solving
problems; however, research and analytical skills are also needed to extract
value from data. Information-gathering should align with research objectives.
Qualitative and quantitative data alongside relevant and credible primary and
secondary sources are fundamental ingredients for informing good judgement.
