Is Data an Art or Science?

During our seminar, we debated whether data is an art or a science—and most voted for science. But is that really the case?

Sure, anyone can crunch numbers, but what really matters is how you use the data. The true value isn’t just in calculations—it’s in the creative ways you apply them.

For example, tracking order fulfilment:

Morning: 📈 High efficiency, more orders processed

Lunch: 🍽️ Productivity shifts, numbers change

Afternoon: ⏳ Slower pace, lower effectiveness

By understanding patterns creatively, businesses can optimize workflows and make data work for them. So, is data just numbers, or is it a creative tool for smarter decisions?

What do you think—art or science?
