Humans and Data Strategy, with Tiankai Feng (Data Strategy and Data Governance Lead at Thoughtworks)
In this episode of Data Analytics Chat, we discuss the complex interplay between data strategy and human elements.
This conversation discusses critical aspects of the guest's five Cs framework (competence, collaboration, communication, creativity, and conscience) and the importance of empathy, communication, and leadership in successful data-driven transformations.
We advise on overcoming resistance to change, fostering a data-centric culture, and the relevance of continuous training and development in implementing effective data strategies.
