DATA DATA DATA – November 2023

Do you want to grow your business, innovate, drive efficiencies, &/or create new revenue streams? Of course, you do! Well data is the starting point…and this is the only data-focused roundup you’ll ever need! 

 In this issue, we’ve got a mix of panel events, data transformations, killer questions, movies and the usual selfies! 

JOIN OUR PANEL EVENT FOR A FOCUS ON FINANCIAL REPORTING… 

Join us for the DATA³ Panel where we invite business leaders to share their insights related to data – this webinar is all about financial reporting. 

Big or small, every organisation needs to report on their financial performance.

It’s easy to create a finance report, right?  

But it’s hard to create financial reports that are meaningful, actionable and enable data-driven decisions to improve the performance of your organisation. And it’s often hard just to access accurate, timely financial data in the first place! 

Hear from business leaders, like you, who are on the journey to create meaningful, actionable financial reports that enable data-driven decision-making. Listen to their experiences, understand their challenges, hear their tips, and use this to power your financial reporting. 

Hosted by our very own fabulous Andy Jackson who is the master compere. Reserve your spot here.

DATA³’s 2 KILLER DATA QUESTIONS 

I’ve started a series of video chats focused on 2 killer data questions… 

 1. what’s the biggest data-related challenge facing organisations today? 

 2. what’s the biggest data-related opportunity for organisations today? 

 …and fortunately the tech-talented and super lovely Igor Portugal is here to share his answers with me and you! 

Watch here

This is my first foray into forcing people I have coffee with to answer my 2 killer questions…so, who’s next?! 

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO START YOUR DATA TRANSFORMATION? 

I often get asked this question… 

The best time is X years ago when you first started your organisation… 

The 2nd best time is TODAY. 

Ideally we’d have this sorted already, right? Business information available at the click of a button…accessible by the right people at the right time in the right way…fully secure, compliant & backed up…alerts providing proactive insight in the moment…everything automated end-to-end…no conflicting numbers…no delays…no manual workarounds…no mistrust…no risks of data leakage…no frustration. 

But most organisations don’t.  

So, don’t delay and start today…because your data is only getting larger, more complex, more siloed, more disconnected and therefore it’s getting harder, slower and more expensive to sort it out. 

WHAT MOVIES SHOULD YOU WATCH WHEN YOU NEED SOME INSPIRATION? 

I’ve got 3 for you… 

1. NYAD – after watching this, never again will I moan about anything being hard or tough…compared to swimming from Cuba to Florida via box jellyfish and sharks, I can do anything! And there’s the fabulous Jodie and Annette combo of course.

 2. JOY – after watching this, never again will I moan about my family! Goodness. According to Google, it’s only 50% true, but still…

 3. HIDDEN FIGURES – after watching this, never again will I moan about anything! Wow. These 3 women. In that day and age. And space!

So, I’m never moaning again!!!

The team at DATA³ & BoomBoard can all call me on this!

What movies am I missing for that next challenging day…?
