About

DataOps—the art of making your data work harder, faster, and smarter, or at least that’s what the brochure says. We’ll unpack the business value: cutting time-to-insight, improving data quality, and turning cross-team chaos into smooth collaboration but what does this actually mean to your stakeholders and are they getting the customer outcomes they want?

We’ll explore the ever-changing product demands on your teams; hybrid clouds, real-time analytics, Fabric, Mesh, Lakehouses and AI demands that can send you into a hype cycle, with a quick stop at how social media influences you and just as importantly, your stakeholders!

Finally, how we tackle vendor engagement strategies and “the state of data” – how to choose partners who don’t just sell you shiny dashboards but actually integrate, govern, and scale with your needs.

 You’ll leave with practical insight for implementing DataOps, picking the right allies, and delivering measurable outcomes -all while avoiding the dreaded “data swamp” that keeps many an technologist awake at night.

Takeaways

• DataOps is a way of thinking and working but don’t expect your business to understand it’s value
• “Everything is dead” or more likely, everything is changing and we need to build resilience
• Vendor engagement approaches provide challenges, we need business strategies to shape it
