How to become data literate.
But for most people, the gulf between recognizing the importance of data and actually beginning to analyze it is massive. How do those without extensive training in statistics equip themselves with the skills necessary to thrive in our age of “big data”?
But my experience is all working with baseball data, or learning game theory because you want to be better at poker, right? Or [you] want to build better election models because you’re curious and you think the current products out there aren’t as strong as they could be. So, getting your hands dirty with the data set is, I think, far and away better than spending too much time doing reading and so forth.
That stuff is kind of hard to teach through book learning. So it’s by experience. I would be an advocate if you’re going to have an education, then have it be a pretty diverse education so you’re flexing lots of different muscles. An ideal situation is when you’re studying on your own and maybe you have some type of mentor who you talk to now and then. You should be alert that you’re going to make some dumb mistakes at first. And some will take a one-time correction. Others will take a lifetime to learn. But yes, people who are motivated on their own, I think, are always going to do better than people who are fed a diet of things.
HBR: You’ve had obviously some very public experience with the fact that even when the data is good and the model is good, people can push back a lot for various reasons, legitimate and otherwise. Any advice for once you’re in that position, you have a seat at the table, but the other people around the table are really just not buying what you’re selling?If you can’t present your ideas to at least a modestly larger audience, then it’s not going to do you very much good.
