“When we do right, nobody remembers. When we do wrong, nobody forgets.” It’s the motto of Hell’s Angels but Facebook might agree.

Who manages customer data? It’s marketing at about one-third of the companies polled by DataIQ for the UK Royal Mail. Two-thirds cited a central data organization or IT. (Multiple answers were allowed so at some companies it’s both, and/or other groups including CRM and customer service.) Rather shockingly, one-third (32.7%) had no formal data quality process and 16.3% don’t validate internal data at all. Lots of other interesting data, including estimates of how much bad data harms the bottom line.
Then again, how reliable are consumer surveys to begin with? Let’s take a quick poll: raise you hand if you’re eager to spend more time reading food labels in the grocery store.
