Research Presentation – Wading Through Your Data Swamp

Too much data is a real issue for organisations of all sizes. Paired with poor data literacy, your data lake can quickly turn into a data swamp.

  • When your data becomes too much or too disorganised, what should be your first steps to cleansing your disparate data?
  • How do you instil a culture of data literacy in your existing teams?
  • What systems should be put in place to prevent your data lake from becoming a data swamp?

Presentation – Building a Lake in the Cloud

The cloud is generally regarded as the best place to create a data lake but what are the key considerations in building a lake in a cloud?

  • There are lots of Clouds, so which one is best?
  • How do you make sure you have enough data but not too much?
  • Having data is great, but how do you turn it into information?

Panel Discussion - Are You Data Ready?

Organisations of today have more data at their disposal than ever before and we are creating more data from an ever-growing number of sources every day. With all this data, it’s not surprising that many organisations have recognised the importance of being data-led as a cornerstone of digital transformation. However, when it comes to data, quantity does not always equal quality. Many organisations have collected petabytes of data but do not know what to do with it or lack the data literacy to gain real business advantage.

  • What kinds of data does your organisation collect, and where does it come from?
  • What challenges does an organisation face when it comes to data strategy?
  • How do you build a culture of data literacy and who should be responsible for implementing it?
