Every day, we are bombarded by charts and graphs in the news and across social media. Whilst designed to inform, they can create greater levels of concern at best and spread potentially dangerous disinformation at worst. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/technology-52157202\">BBC reports that 46% of UK adults have been exposed to false or misleading information about the Coronavirus.<\/a> In this second episode, David and Daniel bang heads on how to manage data overload and bias through data visualization. They discuss what data signals to listen to, how to read them objectively and how to apply the insights they reveal to help us bring clarity into uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p>Another topic is how brands can use data to understand how to best operate and communicate during a challenging period. They dissect a range of business cases dating back to the last financial crisis and their outcomes. Daniel states there has never been a better time to \u2018clean out your cupboards\u2019 be it at home or in the office, organizing your data infrastructure, fine-tuning your eCommerce strategy or really solidifying your brand purpose with consumer sentiment at the center.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/audioboom.com\/posts\/7568229-the-new-abnormal\">Find out more by listening to the episode here\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The second episode of PHD MENA\u2019s podcast is also available on <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/episode\/5Deh8sb409feZm9KbasHJD\">Spotify<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/play.anghami.com\/song\/75080007\">Anghami<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/audioboom.com\/dashboard\/5021273\">Audioboom<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deezer.com\/us\/show\/978812\">Deezer<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/phd-mena\/id1504241435?ign-mpt=uo%3D4\">Apple Podcasts.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Data and strategy experts discuss how to manage data overload and bias in today\u2019s challenging climate.
