Introduction ‘Data-driven organizing’

Introduction
Data-driven organizing is undoubtedly the most important human invention, unfortunately, we use it insufficiently or incorrectly, at least not optimally. It’s like using a lawnmower to sweep the sidewalk and a broom to cut the grass.

Most decisions in our lives and work are made based on data. This importance contrasts sharply with our knowledge and attention to the question: what are data and how can supply and demand be organized safely, democratically, and productively? Major societal challenges such as climate change, inequality, the next pandemic, the power of tech companies, disinformation, polarization, and shortages in collective sectors can be solved through the correct use of data. And we are not talking about big data, but about rich data. Without getting technical, in this introduction we take participants into the wonderful world of data wisdom and data-driven organization: what are data and how can you best organize demand and supply of data? The focus here is on letting go of the dominant logic, the development of new business and operating models (smart collaboration in ecosystems), and data technology (internet of things, blockchain, rich data, data logistics, smart contracts, and artificial intelligence).

We come from a world in which land, labor, and capital were the most important production factors, and data is now added to that. This means that we no longer organize with companies, governments, and non-transparent markets as a starting point, but ecosystems. This means that we no longer need local IT systems, but can use a digital assembly line. The problem now is that at least thirty percent of the total organizational costs are spent on requesting data from other parties. This can and should be done differently given the social challenges we face.

The first ‘fallacy’ that we remove is the idea that we should organize work and society with companies and governments and also take this as a starting point when organizing data and IT. The second fallacy is that data and IT are the same things and that organizing data is, therefore ‘something of IT’. The fact that we are barely getting any more productive, despite billions of investments in IT, and that seventy percent of digital transformation projects fail, makes it clear that this is a bad idea.

In this introduction, we take participants on a journey to the sustainable, digital, and decentralized FutureNext we need. We show which social transformation we are in and how data plays perhaps the most important role in this. The question that then remains is: how data-savvy are you?

What you’ll learn
This introduction aims to raise awareness, transfer knowledge, and to provide insight into the practical applicability of data and how to organize it productively. As a result, participants develop a ‘radar’ to make the right decisions at the right time.
