Simone Steel
Chief Data Officer, Nationwide Building Society
Wednesday 7th July 12:30-14:00pm BST
Data is the 'Weakest Link'
Abstract
At previous Study of Enterprise Agility events we’ve learned how enterprise agility powered by software products can deliver more value faster and safer to users and customers. But large organisations still struggle to go beyond local optimisation in functions and departments, each with its own IT challenges and transformation plans.
In this talk by Nationwide Building Society's Chief Data Officer, Simone Steel, will explore how data connects those business and technology silos and how surfacing the data flows can help organisations move from local to system optimisation.
