#15 - Dashboard Cemetery, Where Good Analytics Go to Die
Organizations all over the world spend millions deploying advanced analytics platforms, convinced that if they just bring in the right technology, transformation will naturally follow. But reality tells us something very different. The best dashboards, built on the most powerful tools, often end up sitting untouched. Expensive shelfware. Why? Because adoption—not access, not licenses, not the number of dashboards delivered—is the true leading indicator of success.
Welcome to the Data Voyagers Podcast: Navigating the Stories Behind the Numbers.
Presented by Igor Alcantara and Angelika Klidas, in today's episode we are going to talk about one of the most overlooked, yet most critical, factors in the success or failure of analytics initiatives: adoption.

#13 - The Rise of the Machine... Learning!
Machine Learning isn’t science fiction anymore. It’s not locked away in research labs or reserved for Silicon Valley elites. It’s shaping the ads we see, the music we stream, the fraud alerts on our credit cards, and even the way billion-dollar companies make decisions. But here’s the question… do we really know how it works?
Welcome to the Data Voyagers Podcast: Navigating the Stories Behind the Numbers.
Presented by Igor Alcantara and Angelika Klidas, today's episode is about “Machine Learning.” No, it is the Rage Against the Machine… Learning, it is more The Rise for The Machine. Turn your volume up and join us in this journey.

#12 - Critical Thinking: The Wisdom Beyond the Data
We live in a time where data is everywhere but wisdom is rare. A time where more data is available. But, with all this power, are we thinking better or just… faster? The real challenge of the information age isn’t access to data, it’s knowing how to think with data.
In today's Episode, Igor Alcantara and Angelika Klidas welcome Kevin Hanegan to discuss critical thinking. Critical thinking isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s the difference between blindly following numbers and truly understanding what they mean. Listen to this episode and check out how Critical Thinking can not only improve your business but make you a better citizen.

#11 - The Science of Decision-Making and the Algorithm of Choice
We make an estimated 35,000 decisions every day. Most of them are small — what to eat, what to wear, whether to read the notification or ignore it. But others? They shape careers, relationships, businesses, the house we live in… our lives.
In today's Episode, Igor Alcantara and Angelika Klidas will talk about decision making. Some decisions are made in milliseconds. Others paralyze us for days. Some we make from the gut, others from a dashboard. But here’s the question: Can decision-making be taught, modeled, and optimized? Listen to this episode and find out.
