A new episode of The View on Data just dropped 🎙️ Faith McKenna (Lierheimer), Erica Louie, Paige A.C. Berry, and Jerrie Kumalah Kenney tackle one of the most persistent myths in data: that every decision needs pristine, statistically significant datasets. Spoiler: You can make strong calls with messy, incomplete, or inconsistent data. They break down what “good enough” looks like in practice, how to set expectations with stakeholders, and why confidence in your own analysis matters just as much as precision. They also share lessons on communicating clearly when the data isn’t perfect and why progress often beats perfection. 🎧 Listen and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

Analytics and AI demand a stronger foundation. That’s where dbt comes in.

Stored procedures might keep your data pipelines running, but they come with hidden costs that slow down strategic progress: ⚠️ Trust → Black-box logic with no tests or lineage erodes confidence ⚠️ Talent → Frustrating workflows make it harder to attract and retain great data professionals ⚠️ AI readiness → Stored procedures aren’t built for modern AI ecosystems ⚠️ Business value → Fragile pipelines and manual debugging tax your team’s capacity Migrating to dbt unlocks: ✅ Transparent lineage, documentation, and testing that build trust ✅ Standardized workflows that shorten onboarding by 30% ✅ Rich metadata and structure to power AI projects ✅ Faster development cycles and 20% more capacity for innovation Check out this guest post from Ryan Bennett, Lead Data Engineer at phData, on how moving from stored procedures to dbt builds trust, strengthens teams, and gets your org ready for AI https://lnkd.in/gMzW-rVM
