I’ve recently switched from using the phrase “data-driven” to “data-informed” instead, mostly because people I talk seem to have bad connotations associated with the former.
This is weird!
I now have to say “I want to be data-informed” in order to communicate my goals.

I suppose one benefit of switching to “data informed” is that it makes it very clear what my prior state was: that is, I made most of my decisions uninformed by data.
