In this session, Davinia will discuss:

Data and analytics leaders are responsible for both information governance and data monetisation. But as a relatively new function in many organisations, data and analytics teams are under the spotlight to produce high-quality results quickly and efficiently. Beyond this, to see true value from these new technology tools, a culture of data-driven work has to be embedded within your organisation.

This foundational session will cover:
  • What new skills and roles are needed for data and analytics?
  • How can you plan for success and avoid potential pitfalls?
  • How can you embed a culture of data-driven work throughout your organization?
