Since I have just relocated (and we have just passed the new year resolution point) I have become a member of the nearby fitness club.
Guess what: They got my name, address and birthday absolutely right the first time.
Now, this could have been because the young lady at the counter is a magnificent data entry person. But I think that her main competency actually rightfully is being a splendid fitness instructor.
What she did was that she asked for my citizen ID card and took the data from there. A little less privacy yes, but surely a lot better for data quality – or data fitness (credit Frank Harland) you might say.
Oh to live in a progressive society…
Thanks for sharing Henrik.
Cheers Dylan
