The Data Paradox: Why business leaders must rethink ‘data-driven decision making’

Data is everywhere—but are we making better decisions because of it?

In boardrooms worldwide, executives justify choices with one magic phrase: “We have the data.”

Numbers seem objective, turning opinion into fact — but, as an Auckland-based performance software company has identified, more data doesn’t always mean better decisions.

The Data Paradox – When More Isn’t Better

For over a decade, Dr Bernie Frey has studied an apparent paradox in leadership: the more data leaders have, the harder it becomes for them to make decisions.

As founder and CEO of the Praxxis Group, Frey has overseen the development of a unique software platform called Opal3, which helps organisation leaders manage the performance of their companies by tracking both financial and non-financial data, including risks, which are then turned into clear, actionable insights.....

ComCom moves to disrupt power structures in groceries

“We know the current grocery market is not serving Kiwi consumers well. The status quo lets a few major players set the rules for the rest of the industry which is negatively impacting consumers, new and expanding competitors, and small suppliers,” Grocery Commissioner Pierre van Heerden says.

“These major players are the three main supermarkets and large national and multi-national suppliers. Their significant market share allows them to influence the settings of the market. This limits the ability for competing retailers to enter and grow in the market and often results in smaller suppliers getting an unfair deal.

“The Commission has today released our draft report on our review of the Grocery Supply Code and Initial Views on our Inquiry into the Wholesale Market. These focus on two issues we believe need to be addressed to improve outcomes for consumers.....

Investing more to stop illicit drugs entering NZ

Budget 2025 will do more to strengthen our borders, prevent drug smuggling and fight organised crime, Customs Minister Casey Costello announced.

“Customs is doing a great job stopping illicit drugs entering the country, but New Zealand is increasingly being targeted by organised crime groups.

Taranaki-Grown Garlic Hits New Plymouth New World

Taranaki-grown garlic is now available at New World New Plymouth for a limited time, marking a significant milestone for the region’s land use diversification efforts under the Branching Out project, led by Te Puna Umanga Venture Taranaki, the regional development agency.

How breakthrough media coverage is driving brand growth for Kiwi SMEs

For many SMEs, marketing begins and ends with social media and paid ads – but there’s a better way to build trust and credibility. Public Relations or (PR) offers a cost-effective approach for New Zealand businesses to gain media exposure, establish thought leadership and create long-term brand value.

While larger organisations have dedicated PR teams to manage their brand image, SMEs can also use strategic PR to create impact—without requiring the marketing budgets of global players.

New Zealand’s business environment is unique. We are a country of innovators, exporters, and entrepreneurs who often rely on reputation and word-of-mouth to gain traction. But with digital transformation, the way businesses communicate with their audiences has shifted dramatically. In an era where trust is currency, PR plays a crucial role in shaping how a business is perceived by customers, investors, and the wider public....

ComCom warns of pyramid schemes after South Auckland scammers plead guilty

The Commerce Commission is urging consumers to be wary of opportunities that seem too good to be true, after two individuals pleaded guilty in the Manukau District Court to charges related to the promotion of a pyramid scheme which targeted the Pasifika community in South Auckland.

Associate Commissioner Joseph Liava'a says pyramid schemes often thrive in close-knit communities, including churches, because of the trust which exists within these groups.

The Commission took Frances Saimone and Patricia Pousini to court after hundreds of people were recruited into the cash-based gifting scheme known as ‘6K Gifting Co-operative’ (6K) with the promise of a return of up to $6,000....
