Data-Driven Is Not Enough: A Virtual Product Salon with Sebastian Wernicke
Your dashboard shows what changed. What should your team do next?
Join Products That Count and Syniti for a one-hour virtual Product Salon on turning data into better product decisions.
Traditional "data-driven" organizations use data mainly to optimize existing processes and chase incremental efficiency. "Data-inspired" organizations treat data as a cultural catalyst for deep transformation, discovery, and innovation.
Sebastian Wernicke, Partner at Oxera and author of Data Inspired, opens with “Data-Driven Is Not Enough: How Product Teams Get Past the Dashboard.” A roundtable with Amira Youssef, Jay Patel, and Chris Bauschka follows, with room for your questions and perspectives.
Bring something you’re working through: conflicting signals, a roadmap tradeoff, or data that needs more context. This salon pairs a shared starting point with a conversation you can help shape. You’re welcome to contribute or listen.
