Barry and Tony are joined by Rachel Purchase (Head of Data Product, Insights and Data Science at Admiral). We discuss some of the ‘myths & legends’ that have surrounded the data profession and what the reality is like for most businesses.

Welcome to The Data Files! 5 years ago we sat down with Barry Panayi and Tony Cassin-Scott to discuss the future of the data world and rise of the Chief Data Officer. 5 years on we revisit some of those predictions and see how the space has evolved.

The Data Files explores the rapidly evolving world of data, information and people. 

A light-hearted limited series hosted by Barry Panayi (Chief Data Officer at John Lewis Partnership) and Tony Cassin-Scott (ex-CIO & CDO, now Advisor). They chat with some of the minds responsible for the past, present and future of the development of the data space and explore what’s worked, what’s not worked, and what the future might hold – both for organisations and for the data profession itself. 

The series is sponsored and produced by Practicus. Find out more at https://www.practicus.com/
