Many ancient, universal teachings tell us that attachment is suffering and today, we are attached to data in so many ways. Some examples of attachment are "My way is the only right way (and yours is wrong)," "I can’t lose my data," and "My data must be completely truthful."
The root cause of data issues lies in people issues. This workshop will share stories of core data issues and how human dynamics principles helped. There will be interactive exercises, participation, questions, commentary, and conversation about what is most important in solving these data issues by tackling the underlying people factors.
Come enjoy, learn, and practice essential tools for data suffering (which is really people suffering #!?@).
