SUMMARY:Why you can't buy a good data strategy off the shelf\, with Scott Logic\,
DESCRIPTION:The National Innovation Centre for Data presents Data Insights: Why you can’t buy a good data strategy off the shelf with Scott Logic \nAbout this event\nConversations around data and data strategy can often be quite technical\, and they can rapidly get bogged down in questions about systems architecture\, which cloud service is best\, and so on. However\, when it comes to shaping a successful data strategy\, it has become apparent that the most important aspects often do not involve technology at all. \nWhether you wish to improve operational efficiency\, understand your customers better\, or foster greater collaboration between your colleagues\, a good strategy provides the supporting framework you need to achieve your goal. \nJoin ourselves and Scott Logic at The Catalyst on Thursday 4th August from 9.30 a.m. as we present Why you can’t buy a good data strategy off the shelf\, an eye-opening event which will uncover and demystify some of the guiding principles of a successful data strategy\, and demonstrate that a good data strategy is not\, in fact\, a question of technology. \nScott Logic’s Principal Consultant Peter Chamberlin will be giving the keynote\, which will be followed by a talk delivered by their Principal Consultant Nick Hume and Lead Developer James Wren. Our Technical Director Richie Ramsden will also be delivering an interactive workshop\, and this will be followed by a panel discussion featuring representatives from the National Innovation Centre for Data\, Scott Logic\, and more panellists to be announced. \nRefreshments including coffee and tea will be available upon arrival\, and a delicious lunch will be served after the talks and workshop sessions have concluded. You really won’t want to miss out! \nWho are Scott Logic? \nScott Logic are a software consultancy with offices throughout the UK – including a brand new one just across the way at The Lumen in Newcastle Helix – and they currently employ about 400 people. \nThey provide a range of services including architecture and technical strategy\, data engineering\, and software development\, and their clients include well-known organisations such as the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP)\, NatWest and NHS Digital. \nLike us\, Scott Logic are big believers in using technology to overcome challenges and discover new opportunities. \nAgenda\n09.30 a.m. | Registration opens + refreshments \n10.00 a.m. | Welcome + Intro | Paul Watson\, Director of the National Innovation Centre for Data \n10.10 a.m. | Keynote Talk: Data Strategy is Not a Technology Problem | Peter Chamberlin\, Principal Consultant at Scott Logic \n10.30 a.m. | Talk: Harnessing the Power of the Cloud | Nick Hume\, Principal Consultant at Scott Logic; James Wren\, Lead Developer at Scott Logic \n11.00 a.m. | Interactive Workshop | Richie Ramsden\, Technical Director at the National Innovation Centre for Data \n11.30 a.m. | Panel discussion and Q+A featuring: \nColin Eberhardt\, Chief Technical Officer at Scott Logic \nMatt Richards\, Technical Architect at Scott Logic \nPeter Chamberlin\, Principal Consultant at Scott Logic \nPaul Lodge\, Chief Data Officer at the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) \nAnd more panellists to be announced \n11.55 a.m. | Wrap-up | Paul Watson\, Director of the National Innovation Centre for Data \n12.00 p.m. | Lunch + networking \n  \nSpeakers + Panellists \nPeter Chamberlin\nPrincipal Consultant\, Scott Logic\nPeter has been a Principal Consultant at Scott Logic since March 2022 and has extensive knowledge of numerous programming languages and technologies.
