In this episode of The Prompt, Anjali, Karen and Junaid dig into a common and often overlooked issue in today’s data-driven landscape: the mismatch between maximizing data and realizing business value. The hosts unpack the pitfalls of prioritizing AI-readiness and data hoarding over understanding critical business needs. They challenge the popular notion that more data equals more value—highlighting how data volume often leads to complexity, redundancy, and unmet expectations if not tied to clear, relevant use cases. The conversation explores how leaders often equate value with quick wins and flashy dashboards, sidelining the needs of everyday users who are most impacted by these changes and least equipped to leverage them.
