Statistics rule the world. Debates and decisions on major problems are often based on percentages, figures and numbers. But how much do we actually understand and know about the numbers we base our decisions on? Why do we find numbers so important when they often fail to resolve issues? Isn’t it more important to investigate the values behind different points of view instead of presenting alternative statistics? Come and learn from scholar of organization Alan Irwin about our complicated relationship with statistics, and the world behind the numbers.
