Welcome to the MBN Solutions Boss ‘n’ Data podcast show
You can watch our podcast series below or listen here:
The last 20 years have witnessed an incredible growth in the requirement for data-driven decisioning within many aspects of society – from the commercial world, through governmental and civil service decision making, to the services we all rely upon as citizens. Reliance on fact, science and predictability has replaced HiPPO decision making, gut instinct and guesswork and now that the genie is out of the bottle, there’s no going back. However, is the industry overcomplicated? Accidently or deliberately? Are the companies that sell products and solutions in the data sector muddying the waters for their own benefit?
Join Rob and Colin as they discuss:
- Some of the impacts that a lack of data literacy can have within organisations.
- How global finance and investment has impacted the data industry.
- How platforming the smaller, more mundane industry wins might create more realistic expectations in industry entrants.
