"Data-driven" is a fancier term for "empirical", a method for building knowledge based on observation. The other method is "epistemology", a method for building knowledge by reasoning about things. A successful organisation should not snob the one over the other.

Why not just use the layman terms. Science and logic.

The terms derived from philosophy are the most snobbish in my opinion. Additionally Logic and science formalize these concepts, Epistemology on the other hand has a lot of qualitative mumbo jumbo, with concepts like "belief."
