In Episode 50 of Favoriot Sembang Santai, Zura Huzali and Dr. Mazlan Abbas discuss Operational Blindness, a common challenge where organisations collect data but still cannot make clear and timely operational decisions.The episode explains why sensors, dashboards, alerts, and reports are not enough if the data is not connected to context, workflow, and accountability. Using simple examples from factories, cold chain logistics, smart buildings, and smart cities, the conversation shows how organisations can move from merely monitoring data to making better decisions.Key topics include:Data Without ContextInsights Without IntegrationAlerts Without ActionThe Dashboard IllusionThe 60-second operational testHow Favoriot helps connect IoT data to real actionThe big takeaway:Sensors are the eyes. Dashboards are the screens. But context, workflow, and accountability are what allow an organisation to truly see.
