Getting value from data and the role of a data strategy

One of the most common reasons that data projects fail is because they don’t focus on delivering value for the business.

In this talk we’ll explore what value really means for organisations, how we can define it and why a clear goal and objective is so important.

We’ll then dive into how a data strategy can help communicate that value and establish what needs to be done to achieve it across areas such as technology, operating model and governance.
