Customized List Building: Structured Data For Fast Decision Makers
Anyone who has ever had the need for urgent information fast has been here.
You are searching for critical data, say a list of lifestyle influencers to give you insights that can aid your next decision. So you turn to the “smartest” answer engine you know. The Internet.
You type in your query and you are greeted with a sight that looks similar to this.
That’s 10 million results in 0.39 seconds. No predefined pattern or format, just 10 million results to go through one at a time.
Unstructured Data
Unstructured data comprises of data presented in no unifying or similar manner.
The internet as we know it is largely unstructured. In fact, over 90% of it is presented in various forms, media, and formats.
Just like our example above, unstructured data is hard to sort through. Try finding an important insight in this.
Do you really have the time to let your decision sit around while you scavenge through all this information?
Because here is the constant.
Human reading speed isn’t getting any faster than it was before yet the size of the internet is increasing at exponential rates. The average reading speed is 200–250 words per minute. That’s an equivalent of 2 million minutes (3.8 years of doing nothing other than reading) just to completely scavenge this one search result. No critical decision is going to wait around that long waiting for you to finish going through those pages one at a time.
Structuring Data For Easier Scannability
Structured data on the other hand represents data sets organized in patterns that make them easily searchable.
As great as that seems, only about 10% of the internet is presented in structured formats. With that number shrinking every day.
Sorting through unstructured data takes time, is highly resource engaging, and overall unproductive for a decision-maker.
Why You Need Structured Data
According to a recent State of Data Science and Analytics report, workers waste an average of 44% of their workweek on unsuccessful data related activities mainly due to lack of adequate collaboration, presence of knowledge gaps, and general resistance to change.
Furthermore, on a more industry relatable level, Marketing teams spend a lot of time when choosing to work with influencers for a brand collaboration or paid sponsorship. Most of the time is spent sorting through the various options which often include those with fake engagement ad followers (an endless scroll down their thousands to millions of fake profiles).
Humans generally love anything which gives us a semblance of control in this world of uncertainty. Yet in the current workspace, no one wants to be left to handle the sourcing and sorting of the data to create organized lists.
Yet now more than ever, businesses have to make fast decisions that affect the way they operate in the long term.
Decision making time is much shorter when working with structured data because it is generally quicker to analyze. There are no distractions and filler content to pull you away from what you are searching for.
Also working with structured data greatly reduces the risk of running into information overload when analyzing databases as only the critical data points are displayed.
Suddenly those insights we failed to find earlier become much clearer and easier to sort through.
On the other hand, unstructured data presents more information than needed that slows down the decision making time since more time is taken in analyzing the results.
That is why working with unstructured data is so frustrating. Structured data on the other hand creates the sense of control we all crave.
How to Implement Structured Data
The shift from using unstructured data to structured data to inform business decisions is one that is sure to improve your overall productivity and decision making time drastically.
For fast decision-makers, sitting around analyzing data and trying to structure it individually is highly unproductive. Also being biased about your time and how critical these insights are for you and your business can greatly narrow your focus.
