"Data doesn’t make decisions. People make decisions. Usually after staring at a spreadsheet and sighing 

deeply."

— Meckala McDowall

Meckala’s approach is people-centred. She recognises that data work    does not succeed through tools alone. It depends on team members understanding what information is needed, how it should be collected,     how it should move through the organisation, and how it should          support the decisions in front of them.
