Analysis Paralysis

Avoid analysis paralysis. Don’t let an insatiable appetite for more, better data prevent you from making decisions at all.

We’ve made it folks; we now live in the era of big data. But is smart technology making us dumb? It’s a question that many smart people have asked and discussed at length.

Analysis paralysis is an easy trap to fall into anytime there’s uncertainty, especially when (1) there is lots of available information; (2) there are lots of choices; and/or (3) the decision will have lasting consequences.
