Data by itself is merely information. We place values on it and determine its positive or negative impact on enterprise, program, or community.

Merely getting together to review data, establish parameters, and calculate probability will pay enormous dividends. Unfortunately, far too many public leaders and government agencies neglect this intrinsic management activity.
