In part 2 of our podcast focusing on Data Strategy, our panel of experts discuss some key learnings from their experiences: If an organisation is to grow and evolve in line with the value in its data, then so too must its data strategy.  It's vital to have the drive and belief to be brutal when necessary to recalibrate or even cancel projects when they arent going to plan. Why it's important to keep strategy as high-level as possible to avoid overcomplication, and how in time, your data strategy can be used to build out a wider data story and enable the organisation to not just embrace change, but leverage it. Please note - we recommend that you listen to part 1, before listening to this episode.

Why it's vital to separate the confluence of data and technology. Also covered is how, as well as diversifying in terms of skills, data teams are becoming increasingly diverse in terms of personality and expertise, and why that is important to problem solving.

And why people, culture, ecosystem, and 'Data Cheerleaders' are crucial to the process. Once you have listened to this podcast, please listen to the extended discussion in part 2.

In part 2 of our podcast focusing on data behaviour, our expert panel discuss how vital it is to educate people on processes and expected data behaviours; how for people to get the maximum benefit from data, they must first believe in the data. The necessity of starting any reporting process from the desired outcome - look to validate, prove, change or improve something specific. And finally, that we should never fall into the trap of doing things, just because that's the way they have always been done!
