This episode explores from point in time when an executive leader say 'This is our goal for this year' to understanding how to identify & 'right size' the enterprise data to support those strategic goals.  

I 1st heard the term 'right-size' when I worked in waste management. The goal of 'right-sizing' is to ensure you have the right solution to meet the customer's needs at a cost that is acceptable. I feel this term is appropriately used here as well. How much data and at what cost (time, bias) is the right fit to support value to the organization. 

Additional topics discussed with Samta Kapoor, from Accenture include:  - Avoiding data paralysis  - Linking data directly to corporate goals focusing on valuable outcomes - leading with value first  - Recognizing enterprise data may be in mulitple data sources and may have overlapping data across those sources - Governance and specifically identifying an individual who owns the governance is critical to sucess - Data is and should be treated like an asset - Start small with proof of concept for buying with business stakeholders and leadership - Not everyone will understand data. Taking time to fold in a data driven culture - What does it really mean when we say 'value to the organization' - Lessons learned
