Fear factory – don’t be scared of your data

A fear of collecting data that might put a spotlight on the flaws we didn’t even know existed. We’re scared that these insights might make our function more vulnerable to business criticism – or that knowing what’s not working is worse than knowing nothing at all.

How can we turn our insights from being the monster under the bed to a tool that secures the future of corporate event programmes?
