Blind Spots - Data Ideology

Assumption vs Reality

Presents a series of assumptions leaders often make, and the user clicks to reveal the reality.

Example

Assumption: Once Snowflake is live, value will spread naturally.
Reality: Adoption still depends on trust, usability, and business alignment.

Assumption: Better platform = better governance.
Reality: Snowflake gives governance a stronger foundation, but ownership and discipline still have to exist.

Assumption: AI becomes easier once the platform is modern.
Reality: AI becomes more possible, but still fails if data is not trusted, structured, and operationalized.

Why this works

  • very easy to understand
  • direct and provocative
  • different from a “best practices” page
  • low cognitive load
  • strong fit for leadership
