One of the challenges of dealing with dark data is based on how we think about what we know. We believe that we know what we know. We believe we know what we don’t know. We believe we know things that are actually unknown to us. We may not realize that there are things that are completely unknown to us. To be competitive, we need to rapidly learn the unknown and find a way to create value from it. ULEADD (Understand, Learn, Evaluate, Assess, Define, Design) is a way to improve decision-making, reduce failure, and structure discussions in a productive, team-based environment. ULEADD is a framework for discovery that provides a structure to identify and extract value from data that is typically hidden from sight.
