Meta names Alex Schultz first chief data officer | Reuters

Meta just hired their first-ever Chief Data Officer. A company with billions in revenue and armies of engineers — and they're only now getting serious about organizing their data. Let that sink in.

A company with billions in revenue and armies of engineers — and they're only now getting serious about organizing their data. Let that sink in.


If you bought an AI tool that nobody on your team actually uses, you're not alone and you're not foolish. The tool wasn't the problem. The missing piece was knowing what data problem you were actually trying to solve first.


That's the real lesson from Meta's move. Before any AI implementation, the smartest organizations ask one question: what decision are we making manually right now that data could make faster?

Not "what AI tool should we buy." What decision needs help.

When you start there, the right tool becomes obvious. And your team actually uses it because it solves a real daily friction point — not a theoretical one.


This week, pick one repeating decision in your business that feels slow or inconsistent. Customer follow-up timing. Inventory reorder. Proposal pricing. Just one. That's your AI starting point — and it costs nothing to identify.


What's one decision in your business that still feels like a guessing game every week? Drop it below — happy to share what others in similar situations have tried.
