Why The Data Society

As individuals who have held positions as Chief Data Officers and Data Governance Leads in large international companies, we have gained valuable insights through our experiences. We have observed that even the most meticulously crafted plans can fail due to a variety of reasons, including:

  • Challenges in selecting and onboarding data owners

  • Inadequate professional services for data catalog deployment

  • Insufficient specific technical skills to deliver use cases

  • Lack of interest on the business side to pursue identified use cases after writing a data strategy

  • Debates surrounding financing of use cases

  • High complexity in demonstrating return on investments

  • Lack of understanding from top management

Although we made many mistakes along the way, we were ultimately able to identify solutions for each of them. Our aim now is to provide assistance to companies in overcoming obstacles and unlocking the complete potential of their data.
