Join us for Building a Value-driven Data Strategy with Thoughtworks @ The Catalyst

November 24, 2021 @ 3:00 pm - 6:30 pm

Data plays a key role to fuel businesses that are going through a digital transformation. Many organisations will mention they want to become data-driven, improve their data literacy, and make data self-service. But what does that really imply? While these characteristics are important and desirable, they are mainly focused on improving internal data and analytics capabilities. The real benefit comes when data delivers real value to the business by improving decisions or driving autonomous actions directly.

Join us for this free in-person event at The Catalyst on Wednesday 24th November from 3pm as we explore the importance of building a value-driven Data Strategy with our partners Thoughtworks, who have recently announced the opening of a brand-new site in Newcastle upon Tyne.

Hear from Thoughtworks’ Head of Data & AI UK, Danilo Sato as he explores this approach and join us in a hands-on workshop exploring ‘Lean Data Discovery’. After the talks and workshop session, we will hold a drinks reception to welcome Thoughtworks to the region. Don’t miss out!
