In today's fast-paced and technology-driven world, businesses are increasingly relying on data and analytics to make informed decisions and drive growth. However, amidst the race to embrace data-driven strategies, it is crucial not to lose sight of the human element – changing behaviors & mindsets, recognizing biases, understanding a bit of the neuroscience behind it all.

Let’s get ahead of this question: “We’ve invested so much and we continue to keep going back to the well – when will I see results in my business?”. This workshop aims to explore the significance of being people-focused in a data-driven world and empower participants to leverage proven change management principles for achieving tangible business outcomes.

Time: 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM

Session details:

This session will share the results of a new study on data sharing and commercialization in organizations and of particular interest to senior data and analytics leaders seeking to optimize their data product strategies. Organizations tend to take a defined journeys or maturation path for internalizing and externalizing their data assets. And they setup marketplaces in various ways for partners, suppliers, customers, or others. The session also will discuss how data internal and external marketplaces are sponsored by different parts of the organization, how they are funded, and what the biggest inhibitors to creating data products are. Finally the session will share in what ways organizations with data marketplaces and offering data products tend to outperform those that do not.
