Small to Medium enterprises present a unique challenge for the Data Leader looking to build or lead a successful data function.

Agility and innovation can often balance out the potential limitations around resources and infrastructure that some SME data leaders may experience.
Experimentation, collaboration, a holistic vision, and careful nurturing of talent can often pay off for the data leader looking to “punch above their weight” in an SME environment…

Rob is joined by Howard, who details some of his “secrets to Data Driven SME success” including:

  • The importance of choosing the correct technology stack and cloud platform 
  • Why data leadership in an SME environment often requires the development of skills beyond those classic data leader attributes
  • How the careful management of talent from an acquisition and development perspective can give the SME data leader an advantage over their corporate counterparts
