A Data Strategy for Becoming Data Driven

Becoming data driven will not be achieved by acquiring new technologies and tools alone. It requires a holistic transformation of existing business models involving culture change, process redesign and a step change in data management capabilities. A realistic roadmap which spells out what an organisation must do to achieve its data goals and aspirations is essential. This seminar by Nigel Turner will outline the practical steps needed to produce an achievable data strategy and plan, and how to ensure that it becomes a living and agile blueprint for digital change.

Untangling Data Mesh, Fabric, and Lakehouse

[Virtual – 3 half days] Data fabric, data mesh, and data lakehouse offer competing technological solutions for digital transformation. Understanding these approaches and their differences is critical to delivering high-value, consistent, and near real-time information across Cloud and on-premises. Barry Devlin explains and positions these approaches and related concepts, covering technologies, organisational issues, and implementation approaches. Starting from your business needs and existing data warehouse or lake, you can discover if you should adopt one of these new approaches.

Understanding Graph Technologies

[Half day online] In this half-day workshop Thomas Frisendal will showcase what and how graph technologies imply from practical perspectives.

Tackling Data Quality Problems

[Virtual half day] In our digital age many organisations aspire to become data driven and are investing heavily in new technologies to make it happen.

This workshop will help you identify data quality problems and their impact in your organisation. Nigel Turner will guide you through a simple five step approach to deliver and sustain improvements. It really can be as simple as A to E.
