This week on Data Leaders of the North; The Podcast, we are joined by Catherine Wilks, the Practice Area Lead for Data & Analytics at Slalom Consulting where we discuss the key considerations of ‘Creating a Data Culture’

Catherine provides a great insight of her journey into the world of Data & Analytics and a great overview on a brilliant career to date, in addition to:

• The key challenges and benefits of creating a culture of data
• How there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to embedding a culture of data
• Why an organisations “data maturity” is important in outlining the strategy
• Experimentation, Innovation and Literacy’ relationship with creating a data culture
• How appointing a “Data Leader” isn’t “job done”
• That to truly have a data culture, everybody in the organisation must “buy-in”
• Why the location of data talent can play a huge part
• The importance of having “Data Champions”
• That large scale transformation often isn’t the answer
• Why having a great data culture can add value beyond the classic drivers (revenue, cost, efficiencies)
