Don’t Get Distracted by Tech, The Consumer Is Key

“Data is not insights; knowledge is not understanding. That’s something that people confuse. I’ve heard clients look at a table and say, “There’s an insight here,” and I go, “No, that’s a table, it gives you data.” (The table) doesn’t explain the ‘why’. The ‘why do people behave?’ Why do people love? Why do people want? The ‘why’ is the valuable bit from the dollar sense. Because once you understand the ‘why’, then it’s easy. But the data is what you have to interrogate.” Mário Braz de Matos, Flying Fish Lab.
