TAKEAWAYS from People and Data w/ Tom Redman, The Data Doc

I help leaders and companies understand their most important issues and opportunities in the data space, chart a course, and build the organizational capabilities they need to execute. From start-ups to enormous multinationals; from senior executives and Chief Data Officers to people in the middle, struggling to get something started, I help build data-driven futures. To do so, I combine a visionary’s perspective on the data landscape with deep expertise in analytics and data quality. Most companies don’t give data quality it’s due, but bad data is extremely costly and makes it more difficult to become data-driven. I help companies attack data quality head-on, using new approaches, managerial responsibilities, and techniques. Similarly, most companies don’t understand how difficult it is to succeed with analytics. I help them see the big picture and get the right focus, leadership, structure, and people in place. I’ve been fortunate enough to develop important insights into the nature of data in organizations and to sort out what it means to treat data as assets. My most recent work focuses on helping companies compete with data.
