Attendees will learn how to recognize misleading metrics, ask better questions, and distinguish information from genuine insight. They will leave with a practical framework for identifying what success really means and translating evidence into more confident, informed business decisions—without needing to be a sports analyst or data scientist.Professional bioNicole Hollomon is Managing Partner at GSIQ, a global research and insights agency specializing in intelligence analysis for the sports, sponsorship, and tourism industries.
