The Executive Scorecard

This self-assessment helps executives reflect on the behaviors, rituals, and cultural cues they model that shape their organization's data culture.

Section 1: Modeling Data Fluency

I reference data or insight in key decisions I communicate publicly
I admit when data changed my thinking
I invite pushback or questioning around KPIs and insights
I co-create KPIs or success metrics with my team

Section 2: Meeting & Decision-Making Practices

Our leadership meetings involve active discussion of insights—not just report reviews
We dedicate time for reflection on what the data may not be showing us
We regularly ask 'What assumptions are driving this insight or decision?'

Section 3: Cultural Signals You Send

Team members feel safe admitting when they misunderstood or misread data
Curiosity and disagreement around data interpretation are encouraged
I openly model learning from being wrong, using data as a reflection tool
