One Big Message

Work with hundreds of organizations and thousands of individuals over the years, led to these nine important lessons on how to deliver value with a data strategy:

[00:14] Delivering value drives investment and credibility

[00:43] It’s not foundations versus value

[01:09] It’s never too early to communicate

[01:41] Not all stakeholders are made the same

[02:05] A bigger budget doesn’t equal a better strategy

[02:36] Like a startup, product-market fit is really important

[03:04] It’s a team sport and you need to buy and sell players

[03:48] You need the technology you need, not what the vendor is selling

[04:22] Data is a journey, not a destination
