Data Has No Inherent Value – Keynote by Justin Rondeau
Justin Rondeau from DigitalMarketer talks about the importance of collecting and then analyzing data only after you have a concrete objective defined.
“You need to have some questions that you need answers to, you need to have some intent before investing time and resources into collecting data” – Rondeau
He then talks about the two types of metrics and when to use them — lagging metrics and leading metrics and two types of data — active and passive data. Watch his keynote here:
