This conversation breaks down the difference between collecting data and actually using it to make better decisions that lead to real outcomes.

From practical frameworks to common mistakes, Felix explains how small to mid-sized companies can improve performance by connecting data to action.

• Better data preparation leads to faster and more confident decision making.
• Gut decisions can work, but relying on them consistently can limit growth.
• There is a difference between running a business and growing a business, and each requires a different mindset.
• AI is making data more accessible, but leaders still need to focus on clarity and execution.
• Companies that build strong data systems create more flexibility and control as they scale.
