Why do discussions turn into friction instead of clarity?
Each function uses data. Often from the same warehouse. Yet meetings increasingly feel like disputes, not alignment.
Everyone brings numbers. No one leaves convinced.
Where does analytics amplify conflict?
Analytics mirrors different goals and time horizons:
• marketing looks at growth
• product looks at behavior
• finance looks at efficiency
Without a unifying logic, data exposes conflicts instead of resolving them.
What’s missing beneath the numbers?
A shared management question. Without it, analytics becomes a spotlight on competing incentives.
What actually reduces tension
I build a unified goal framework and explicitly connect metrics across functions. Analytics should show how one team’s decision changes another team’s outcome — not just who’s “right”.
