Three Mondays, and none of them is an algorithm problem.
On the first, an executive committee is shown three figures for the same month's revenue — all three computed correctly. On the second, a forecasting model that nobody acted on, because the person it was built for had no way to see it when they ordered and no way to disagree that anyone recorded. On the third, software placing an order using a definition of stock cover that had changed eleven days earlier. The change was announced in a meeting. The software was not at the meeting.
Book 1 of From Data to Decision sets out the argument and the architecture that make all three impossible.
Part I — Know. Why the value of data is realised in decisions; the four tiers a fact crosses on its way to an action; what “AI-native” actually means; eight design principles a board should approve, each with the price of keeping it and the larger price of breaking it; the autonomy ladder from L0 to L4; a self-assessment; and a roadmap whose phases end on numbers rather than on dates.
Part II — Understand. Eleven views of the same system: the principles as enforceable constraints, the five seams where quality is decided, each tier's obligations, the role, technology, data, consumption and integration views, the cross-cutting layers, governance and operations, a sixteen-group capability map, and a worked target architecture.
Every chapter closes with a five-step “Putting it to work” — concrete actions with owners and timeboxes, starting with the week-one exercise that produces the four numbers every later claim is measured against.
An executive can read Part I in an evening. An architect needs both.
