Data makes the case for innovation. It provides decision-makers and participants with indicators and evidence that desired outcomes are being achieved. As such, it serves to prove the positive difference the new model is making which then becomes a driver of expanded innovation. Also, keeping good records of decision-making provides a paper (or digital) trail that you can refer back to when it is time for future leadership to step in.
