How Does Bridge LMS Help Overcome Common Data-Related Mistakes?
Data analytics can help organizations improve processes and increase efficiencies. However, collecting and sharing data isn't enough by itself. Data must be relevant and well-organized to be a useful source for meaningful insights.
The three scenarios below show common mistakes that organizations might make and highlight how Bridge’s reporting and analytics features can overcome them.
1. Driving Decisions With Data
Relying too heavily on intuition and experience could result in stakeholders ignoring the data in front of them.
Take, for example, a manager looking at results from a recent survey showing low engagement levels due to employees feeling unappreciated. The manager may ignore the data because they feel that people shouldn’t be praised for “simply doing their jobs”. They may also feel that while solid work is being done, nobody is doing anything especially exceptional. Unfortunately, this manager is missing the point. Evidence shows that regularly recognizing employee efforts can greatly strengthen engagement and performance. Ensuring a team feels appreciated when the data shows that their engagement is drifting is essential: listening to the data is by far the better solution in this instance.
Enacting meaningful change requires buy-in from all areas of your organization. Your stakeholders must be willing to balance instinct and experience against data to guide critical decisions. Luckily, a platform like Bridge supports you with your reporting and analytics and helps you put key information in front of your stakeholders to drive decisions.

2. Providing Context and Continuous Measurement
On the other hand, relying too heavily on a single data point in isolation and without context can be equally detrimental.
Imagine that the leadership team at a retail store meets weekly to review performance metrics. This week, the data shows a dip in customer satisfaction. Fixating on this single data point, they spend an excessive amount of time coming up with ideas to improve this score. However, they fail to account for the sample size being too small to be useful: this dip may not represent an ongoing trend. More data points from this and preceding weeks would need to be factored in so a meaningful conclusion could be drawn.
That's why it's essential to check the accuracy and reliability of data through continuous measurement. Bridge Analytics can help you identify patterns and trends over time, leading to more valuable insights and practical solutions.
3. Ensuring Data Is Accurate, Consistent, and Easy to Understand
The examples above reveal a common data challenge: a lack of understanding. This can be a result of individual competency when dealing with data, and the ready availability of meaningful data. For your findings to be accurate and consistent, your tech infrastructure must support a seamless flow of data. This information must also be organized, maintained, and stored securely.
It should be easy to interpret and identify patterns and trends between data points. The individuals making data-based decisions must be able to understand the relationship between any given data points so that they can communicate findings and make connections that might not be immediately apparent.
Consider how you'll connect this information to top-level goals and initiatives. For example, course completion is unlikely to be valuable to your execs. Instead, you need to show how knowledge retention or skills application leads to improved business performance.
