In the second episode of Data Brilliant, our host Joe DosSantos speaks with BBC broadcaster, FT columnist, and renowned author Tim Harford OBE on how data can help us better understand the world around us.From channeling and embracing disorder to drive innovation, to learning to fail in order to succeed, Joe and Tim discuss the importance of unexpected connections and how data can help us all connect the dots.And, as we continue to fight this global pandemic, they explore how understanding data has never been more relevant and talk to the long-term implications of the data-led reporting we’re now seeing all over the news. Will this type of reporting become our new normal? If so, what do people need to do and how do they need to be equipped to better understand the information they are being presented with both now and in the future? Hosted on Acast.
