I work at a place where data quality is not on anyone’s radar. We have a reporting team in our group so we do our best where we can, but combining any datasets with other groups (like marketing & sales) is next to impossible as each team is silo’d and do things their own way - think free-form text fields to tag content…

How can I politely and succinctly say the above? Also, anyone else in a similar boat?

    Definitely try to use examples to help them get a glimpse into the issue. I like to explain documentation errors by pointing out when what are supposed to be sequentially recorded timestamps are recorded out of order in my work’s database. Sometimes the data quality isn’t there.
