[Data Leader Dialogue] Beyond Dashboards: Evolve Your Experiences with Data and Analytics

While it gets easier to build a dashboard, this can result in multiple challenges, such as fragmented governance and implementation, inconsistent reports, and higher maintenance needs. How can data leaders look beyond charts and dashboards, support your teams to shift from traditional approaches, and embed data in every decision? Data Leaders Dialogue is a forum for data and analytics leaders to hear from industry players and discuss common challenges in the public sector. This is an invite-only event.

9:00 AM - 9:10 AM

Opening and Welcome

9:10 AM - 9:40 AM

Self-service is designed to enable everyone to ask and answer their own questions using trusted data to make informed decisions. Governance is the combination of controls, roles, and repeatable processes that creates trust and confidence in data and analytics. In a successful self-service environment, the appropriate levels of governance create accountability and enable, rather than restrict, access to trusted content for users in your organization. Perhaps the most important principle when adopting modern analytics is that self-service and governance are not at odds with each other. IT and business stakeholders on the project team are responsible for defining data and content governance together. In this presentation, we will discuss how getting the right balance of flexibility and control can help realize the benefits of both self-service and governance.

The ultimate goal of data strategy is to build a data culture where data is treated as an asset, everyone is empowered to use data to enhance their daily work, and fully utilize organization’s potential by making decisions more successful and insight-driven. Although everyone agrees that data is the new oil, the execution of data strategy has stalled at providing tools to data people. In this session, we will discuss the technology that can empower everyone with governed and trusted data & analytics platform, and how to inject insights to everywhere to achieve the true pervasive analytics.
