  • S1 E6: The Power of Agile Methodology in Data and Analytics

    Agile Methodology is a powerful way of running Analytics projects. Loreal Jiles recently wrote a great Statement on Management Accounting about Agile Methodology and I had the honour of reviewing it as a practitioner in the area.   

    In this episode, we did a deep dive into this brilliant paper she wrote. We also spoke about the importance of agility in business transformation, Agile methodology and the Scrum framework as well as how to ensure value delivery.

  • S1 E5: LinkedIn Live: Building Your Data and Analytics Team - Non-technical Skills Needed

    In this session, I shared how to build your Data and Analytics Team and the non-technical skills needed. 

    Building a strong Data and Analytics team is very challenging, it needs a lot of effort and understanding of the complementing skills required within the team as well as the Analytics maturity level you are operating at.  In this session, I didn't cover the technical skills. I covered the soft skills that are essential to have in your team.  My chat was based on my MBA dissertation, my research, as well as my personal thoughts as a practitioner in the field*

  • S1 E3: The 3 Main Data and Analytics Organisational Models

    Choosing the right Data and Analytics model for the organisation is similar to choosing the right structure for a house. The organisational structure needs to be robust, solid and suitable for future changes.


    In this session, I cover the different structures the organisations can choose from as well as their variations. I also discuss the pros and cons as well as the uses for Centralised, Decentralised and moving through the Hybrid model.
