ENGAGE. ADAPT. GROW.

Talk Title
Data-fueled agility
​
Abstract
​
The statement “every business is a software business” is old news. It has taken 20 years for traditional businesses to understand they are software dependent: some have conquered it; some are still attempting to imitate it.
For some businesses, another 20 years to understand and adapt to the shift to a data-driven economy is not an option.
​
The presentation covers anti-patterns and helpful behaviours towards data management in organisations that are striving to become truly powered by data. From that perspective, it brings to the surface the broken links between functions in a complex organisation. It questions whether progress towards DevOps is encouraging teams to isolate themselves from this perennial issue: data loses or acquires new meaning in new contexts.
