Power to the People: Building a Data-Driven Organization

Truly data-driven organizations hold numerous advantages over their competitors: increased operational efficiencies; greater revenue generation; and stronger, more adaptable customer service. Democratizing data throughout a company has the potential to make analysis and insights ubiquitous and more readily available, which can aid business leaders in making better decisions faster. However, the sheer quantity of data can make it easy for companies to drown in the data lakes and get lost in the warehouses, and data scientists aren't affordable for most organizations. With the increased data usage comes a greater spotlight on governance and security, so how do ensure that everyone uses the data responsibility? How do we foster guardianship of the data? In this discussion—moderated by Jason Wincuinas, Senior Editor, Thought Leadership Asia at The Economist Intelligence Unit—we bring together an executive panel to discuss how to empower people with data.
