The world is overflowing with data—every click, transaction and interaction is tracked and measured. But simply gathering data is not enough, you must know what data to collect, how to analyze it and extract meaningful insights to make strategic decisions.

Data-driven organizations are 23 times more likely to acquire customers and 19 times more likely to be profitable. In this Master Class webinar with Product Management Expert Adam Thomas, you’ll learn how to take charge of your data and transform it into actionable insights.

You’ll learn:

  • The RAM Framework: Explore the essential elements of impactful metrics—Relevance, Actionability, and Mapability.

  • How to achieve metric clarity: Transform your metrics into insights that are both meaningful and compelling.

  • Data-informed decision-making: Present metrics that drive action and empower your team to make informed decisions.

  • Cross-team metric alignment: Develop a common language around metrics that resonates across departments, creating unity and clarity.

Mastering metrics isn’t just about numbers—it’s about understanding and executing your vision. Leave this session with a crystal-clear understanding of how to make your metrics matter and how it applies to your role as a designer.

Equipped with your new strategic thinking skills, you can stand out in your field, open doors to exciting opportunities, impress potential employers and clients, take your designs to the next level, and become a leader in your organization.

Don’t miss this chance to redefine your approach to metrics—not just as numbers, but as action.
