Certificate in Business Data Analytics (CBDA) — Question 30

The analytics team scheduled a meeting with key stakeholders to present their recommendations. The team envisioned this as the final step of their work and fully expected complete acceptance of those recommendations, particularly given that very few questions were asked. They were surprised when they received word that the organization wasn't ready to move forward.
What did they overlook?

Answer options

• A. Communicating information is bi-directional and iterative
• B. Communicating information requires a written report
• C. Stakeholders need to hear the same information multiple times
• D. Stakeholders never make quick decisions

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, emphasizes that effective communication is not just a one-time event but involves ongoing dialogue and feedback.
