Helping you to do it yourself
The world of data is changing so fast. Technical possibilities, business demand, regulatory, risks – how to deal with all of this? My view is that when I teach team members about the breadth and depth of data management, they will come up with the best way for your organisation to deal with this. Imagine having double the amount of people with awareness and a good understanding of data in your organisation; how fast can change in data management then develop?
Continuous learning
As your organisation becomes more data mature, I can support it over a longer period of time. Starting with the data management fundamentals, seeing how this will spark off more awareness, creating the need for more ‘how to…’, stakeholder alignment and going into deep dives on specific topics from people, process, technology, policy and organisation. There is no wrong door and I am here to help you all the way.
Engage and collaborate
Data is everywhere in your organisation. Doing more with that data requires working together. It means aligning goals, priorities and methods. It means engaging people in your organisation to make this happen. I help you with starting this process to effectively work with data through workshops and masterclasses for specific roles. I help you engage and collaborate in all directions: management, data workers and different departments and functions.
