In Episode 16 of Driven by Data: The Podcast, Kyle Winterbottom is joined by Roberto Maranca, VP of Data Excellence at Schneider Electric where they discuss what is required for organisations to achieve Data Excellence.

Roberto is one of the most influential people in Data (Data IQ 100 Top 10) and provides fantastic insight and an abundance of metaphors to outline what it takes to truly win with Data, which includes:

• Why achieving Data Excellence is exactly the same as working out
• Why the traditional way of doing things isn’t delivering 
• How organisations have become subject to peer-pressure
• Why as a data professional you’re a change agent & disruptor 
• The importance of the element of faith to believe in something better 
• Why Data has to go viral to change the DNA of a company 
• The 3 "M’s" you need to address to achieve Data Excellence
• Why tribal data is; inconsistent, unmeasurable and unmanageable
• How to erode a portion of the “data debt”
• Why we are on the second wave on failed digital transformation
• How data accessibility is an issue but why no one wants ownership
• Why quality can only be measured through the eye of the consumer
• The importance of agreed Data Meanings
• How you'll know you’re moving in the right direction

Happy New Year! We wish you all a very prosperous and safe 2021!
