After reading the book "On Being a Data Skeptic", I determined that evidence based data collected should allow most people to reach a similar conclusion when working on creating strategic plans for their dance communities.
In the modern digital economy, data is a critical asset. Just like capital, credit and talent. Having the best data and the tools to use it gives you a distinct competitive advantage. It allows you to find and pursue opportunities and manage risks better than others. And frankly, I'm concerned when community leaders use just intuitive based decision and execute, and cannot back it up with facts. If growth in a sustainable scene is disproportionately shared by those who have a data edge versus an intuitive edge for sustainability. Obviously, collecting and managing data has a high overhead, but this is a marathon folks and not a sprint.
So, start making good decisions based on data and intuition. Like in high school when the science teacher says, make a hypothesis and test it to see if it is true or not. That is the innovative and scientific process in play and I encourage leaders to explore these ideas.
