Making Data-Driven Culture a Reality
In the age of big data, every employee within an organization should be an “information worker;” meaning they should be equipped to understand and communicate data in context. It’s up to chief data and analytics officers to provide an educational environment, democratize data and inspire the workforce to work and think with data.
Join this session to discuss:
- Organizational wins and areas for improvement regarding data usage
- Programs to ensure workers continue to grow and learn with D&A capabilities
- Strategies and approaches to inspire the workforce with data
