Quotes from the show
Not everyone can deal with the mental health implications of remote work. According to our data, the upper limit of possibility for remote work is 25%. So a maximum 25% of society is actually equipped to work fully remote.
Data can help us to identify errors in our system. The smaller your company is, the larger the impact is for an error. For example, imagine a toxic employee or a bad operational process. But, the bigger your company is, the larger the relevance for the same error. It has become a legacy and a trend, so fixing it from the start is important
We realize something only when we see it, which is very human. You know what you want when you see it. You know what went wrong when you see what went wrong. It's easy to point to the mistake of someone else, right? To go like, okay, obviously, right? But it's very hard to internalize it. And that's why it's so important that we keep a data-driven journey.
