Too often, data conversations get stuck in silos: tools, models, or dashboards in isolation. But data only delivers value when the entire ecosystem works together.

In this episode, Dylan Anderson, Head of Data Strategy at Profusion, joins us to break down what it really means to think holistically about data. We'll explore how business strategy, organizational design, governance, tech debt, and engineering all connect, and why ignoring these links creates inefficiency and frustration.

Dylan also shares how he develops "expert generalists" on his team, building data professionals who can see beyond their technical skills and drive real business outcomes.

Whether you're leading a team, looking for your next role, or just trying to elevate your impact, this conversation will help you zoom out and think like a strategist, not just a technologist.

What You'll Learn:

• Why treating data topics in isolation leads to hidden inefficiencies and wasted effort

• How to align data strategy with business goals (and avoid "models for models' sake")

• Practical ways to assess if a company is taking a holistic approach before you join

• How to grow as a data professional by becoming an "expert generalist"
