Some thoughts on data collection methods and how choices could skew outcome
December 5, 2022
The choice of data collection medium could skew your data towards certain known and unknown biases.
My name is Oluwakorede Asuni – most people call me Olu’ and you may as well.
I work at the intersection of technology and society – helping businesses, non-profits and individuals craft and evolve their technology adoption (aka digital transformation) strategies.
For most of my career, I have worn multiple hats ranging from product manager, project/programme manager, business analyst and customer advocate.
I write regularly here, on facebook, twitter and on some of the most popular business analysis platforms out there.
I hold the IIBA CBAP, IIBA CPOA, PMI PMP and ITIL Foundation, credentials. And I recently completed an executive MBA at the University of Readings’ Henley Business School– where I my research explored Gamification for customer acquisition and retention in SMEs.
I publish a newsletter fortnightly, in which I explore thoughts, theories and developments across digital.

In this short video I go over questions as:
What are the factors you should consider in deciding whether or not to get a business analysis certification?
What certifications are fit for you, depending on factors like, your objectives, your career path to this point, your plans for the future.
Who are business analysts and what do they do? What are the tools of their trade?
Where do they work?
And how do you get started as a business analyst?
I attempt answers to some of these questions in this video.
Can strict waterfall co-habit with agile? For example, can a business with legacy processes transform or begin to transform to one that is responsive to the rapidly changing demands of the market?
If yes, what are the thoughts and principles that we need to embrace.
In this article, I explore why and how this is possible.

Data doesn’t lie.
Your analysis and subsequent interpretation could be subjective.
My passenger was bored two minutes into an 18 minutes drive. I tossed her the book I had taken along, as I had a 1 hour wait time at our destination, whilst she jumps on poles and straddles beams. I wasn’t expecting much of anything except to distract her for the rest of the drive and maybe ensure she doesn’t fall asleep during the drive. I asked her if she understood what she had read when we arrived. Her: No, daddy. Except that it is about numbers and facts. Me: That’s a good start. #AdukeDairies
Dear Parliament, Having taken the time to evaluate my calorie consumption. And having noted that Saturdays are for parties and other fun activities which could induce consumption. And Sunday lunches are still a thing. I’d like to move the motion to abolish Saturday (and Sunday) calories. They should not count. They are likely to ruin the weekend if they continue to count. They could also seed doubt in one’s capabilities to be self-disciplined. I hope you give this motion some consideration and then vote right: which is to abolish weekend calories. Thank you! Honourable YaKoYo.
November numbers are in. Not much of physical activities – as it turns out sprained ankles do take their time to heal.
