  • S2 E6: Byte: Data side-hustle

We take a look at how a side hustle or data hobby can support your 9 to 5 and more importantly help you ask better business questions and appreciate the softer challenges we often talk about in analytics and business intelligence.

  • S2 E5: Bit - Behavioural design in analytics.

    Welcome to another episode and our new look and name for the podcast. We ditched the 3 what nots and now, we’re just called Datum. A datum is described as a piece of information and we thought that would be a fitting name for our more recent format of bits (where we focus on technical concepts and technologies) and bytes ( where discuss concepts and the softer side of working with data).

    In this episode we discuss behavioural design in analytics and dive into the techniques available to us to allow us to intentionally and systematically changing human behaviour through persuasive modifications of the physical and digital environment.
