SESSION DETAILS
Title: Data Strategy: Maximizing Value from Data Technology
Abstract:
Many companies are sitting on vast amounts of data, yet turning this data into actionable insights often proves challenging. Investing in cutting-edge technology alone cannot solve issues such as bureaucratic data processes, inefficient team structures, or a lack of data literacy and engagement within the organization. Consequently, even the most advanced data platforms remain underutilized.
This presentation will explore strategies to overcome these obstacles, guiding you towards an environment where people, processes, and data tools work seamlessly together. The key to achieving this? A comprehensive data strategy! I will demonstrate how a well-defined data strategy can empower individuals within your organization (the “who”) to become more data-savvy. By aligning your company’s objectives (the “why”) with the necessary components (the “what”)—including technological solutions like artificial intelligence and data platforms—you can unlock the full potential of your data assets.
