Agenda:
Placeholder description from Marilu's Conference Workshop.
The lack of an effective Data Strategy significantly impacts organizations. It´s believed that producing one takes a long time, while current data pains are urgent. Learn in this tutorial HOW to create it in 9 weeks.
Most organizations want to become data-driven. Some want to be data-centric. All want to use AI to make data speak and tell them how to improve customer experience through advanced analytics to understand the organization’s insights and predict customers’ behaviors. When asked if they have a Data Strategy, most may claim they do, but most frequently, it is a technology-oriented document indicating how they will move to new data platforms.
A holistic, integrated, and open Data Strategy is needed to increase the probability of successful data-related initiatives. CxOs and data leaders agree on the importance of having a good Data Strategy. Still, when it comes to investing time and resources to define one, there’s usually more urgency for solving immediate pain points. They feel jumping directly to buy and implement technology platforms will relieve the pain. Doing that without a good Data Strategy will only increase the pain in the long run.
