Too little to be any good! The right collection strategy
What's more frustrating than investing time and resources in data management only to get insufficient results? Data analysis requires an appropriate collection strategy.
Many organisations, drawn by the idea of "digital gold," try to tap into huge datasets from other companies or public databases. While these may seem perfect, they require a disproportionate effort to acquire and analyse. This choice not only wastes energy but also leads to disappointment.
An effective strategy for the cultural industry means focusing on the right quantity and quality of data. Instead of aiming for massive datasets, it's more productive to focus on collecting relevant information that is proportionate to your organisation's strengths and goals.
