Data as a form of compassion
Context Matters with Amanda Bell is a podcast for everyone who has ever thought “there has to be a better way” when it comes to work, systems, or your job. In each episode, we expand the conversation around work, organizational development, efficiency, productivity, profitability, and data. Because context matters, y’all.
