When teams claim to be data-driven but consistently ignore inconvenient data

Our leadership team always talks about being data-driven but when the data contradicts what the CEO wants to do we find ways to rationalize why the data doesn't apply this time. I've watched this happen at least six times this year and I don't know if pointing it out will help or just make me the person who doesn't understand strategy.

What we've seen
