    #22 - The Danger of Trusting Numbers

    Numbers feel precise. Clean. Objective. They sit on dashboards with confidence, backed by charts, models, and carefully defined metrics. But what if the danger is not bad data, but trusting numbers too easily? What if filters reshape reality, samples distort conclusions, and metrics quietly become targets instead of signals? Presented by Qlik Partner Ambassador and Qlik MVP Igor Alcantara, and Qlik Partner Ambassador and Qlik Education Ambassador Angelika Klidas, this is the part 2 about the many fallacies in data. This episode explores how selection bias, regression to the mean, KPI worship, and Goodhart’s Law reveal a deeper truth: data does not remove uncertainty. It only reduces ignorance. And unless we question what numbers represent, we risk mistaking measurement for understanding.

    #21 - Data is NOT the Truth

    We live in a time where data is everywhere. We measure everything. We store everything. We visualize everything. And yet, somehow, we still get surprised by outcomes. Projects fail even though the numbers looked good. Decisions backfire even though the dashboards were green. Predictions miss reality even with sophisticated models behind them. Presented by Qlik Partner Ambassador and Qlik MVP Igor Alcantara, and Qlik Partner Ambassador and Qlik Education Ambassador Angelika Klidas, this is the part 1 of an episode about the many fallacies in data, where the numbers don't tell the whole story.

    #16 - Time Series: The Physics of Data

    Time is the most democratic of all data sources — everyone gets it in the same increments. Second by second, minute by minute, reality unfolds, leaving behind a trail of information: a stock price changing, a heart beating, a sensor blinking, a shopper clicking “buy”. Each event on its own is nothing. But together, they form a rhythm; a pattern hidden in plain sight. And once you learn to read that rhythm, you can glimpse what’s next. 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 venturing beyond the event horizon into the world of time series, where data isn’t just a collection of values but a story told through time itself.

    #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.
