Is the value of your enterprise analytics SAAS or AI product not obvious through it’s UI/UX? Got the data and ML models right...but user adoption of your dashboards and UI isn’t what you hoped it would be? While it is easier than ever to create AI and analytics solutions from a technology perspective, do you find as a founder or product leader that getting users to use and buyers to buy seems harder than it should be? If you lead an internal enterprise data team, have you heard that a ”data product” approach can help—but you’re concerned it’s all hype? My name is Brian T. O’Neill, and on Experiencing Data—one of the top 2% of podcasts in the world—I share the stories of leaders who are leveraging product and UX design to make SAAS analytics, AI applications, and internal data products indispensable to their customers. After all, you can’t create business value with data if the humans in the loop can’t or won’t use your solutions. Every 2 weeks, I release interviews with experts and impressive people I’ve met who are doing interesting work at the intersection of enterprise software product management, UX design, AI and analytics—work that you need to hear about and from whom I hope you can borrow strategies. I also occasionally record solo episodes on applying UI/UX design strategies to data products—so you and your team can unlock financial value by making your users’ and customers’ lives better.

I once saw a discussion on LinkedIn about a fraud detection model that had been built but never used. The model worked — it was expensive — but it just simply didn’t get used because the humans in the loop were not incentivized to use it.
It was on this very thread that I first met Salesforce Director of Product Management Pavan Tuvu, who chimed in on the thread about a similar experience he went through. When I heard about his experience, I asked him if he would share it with you and he agreed. So, today on the Experiencing Data podcast, I’m excited to have Pavan on to talk about some lessons he learned while designing ad-spend software that utilized advanced analytics — and the role of the humans in the loop. We discussed:
- Pavan's role as Director of Product Management at Salesforce and how he works to make data easier to use for teams. (0:40)
- Pavan's work protecting large-dollar advertising accounts from bad actors by designing a ML system that predicts and caps ad spending. (6:10)
- 'Human override of the machine': How Pavan addressed concerns that its advertising security system would incorrectly police legitimate large-dollar ad spends. (12:22)
- How the advertising security model Pavan worked on learned from human feedback. (24:49)
- How leading with "why" when designing data products will lead to a better understanding of what customers need to solve. (29:05)
