Quotes:

“Data informed goes along the lines of ‘we want to use data to move the needs’... versus to prove something.”

“This idea that everyone wants to be back in the office five days a week... this is where I think it’s the opposite of data driven; where there’s a lot of data and people just ignored it.”
