Exploring how Leaders can Effectively Leverage Data-Driven Decision-Making in Today's Digital Age

Abstract

In the current digital era, decision-makers have access to a wealth of data that they can use to their advantage. This paper examines how leaders may successfully negotiate the intricacies of today’s business environment by using data-driven decision-making (DDDM) strategies. Through the use of data analytics tools and technology, leaders can harness data to gain valuable insights and drive strategic decision-making processes. The paper also examines the consequences of making decisions based on data in the context of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), emphasising the ways in which leaders in the education sector may use data to improve student outcomes, programme effectiveness, and overall institutional performance. Through real-world examples and best practices, this paper provides actionable insights for leaders looking to harness the power of data in today’s rapidly evolving digital environment.
