The data value supply chain breaks down into sharing the data itself, sharing analytical insights about the data, and managing the data. All three are crucial to creating value from your data. Intentionality is crucial - instead of being reactive, stop and ask what are we trying to accomplish and what value will it drive. Then you will focus much more on high value-impact work. Similarly, think about system engineering work as "mission engineering" - what is your mission in doing your work? Does the work you are prioritizing serve the mission? When sharing information, start from: what is the point, what am I trying to drive with this information exchange? Ar
