Data has been referred to as the new oil for many years and lately Generative AI has made this asset even more popular. Data is often seen as the information stored and the tools used to harness business value from it. However, data is also the people. People require access to data for it to be useful. Likewise, there is data stored within every employee—and data management needs to be inclusive of this source of knowledge. A diligent data practice is one that starts with the people and uses processes and tools to set the stage for successful maximization of the data asset.

Kemi Nelson, a leader in adaptive leadership in data, explains the importance of combining the needs of tech with the needs of people and how companies can better understand both sides of this.

• Learning a useful framework to build a data management practice that effectively connects to strategic business value. 
• Being able to identify volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) business contexts, strategically navigate them, and deliver impact using adaptive leadership methods in data management 
• Understanding persona-based problem solving as core driver for effectiveness of data solutions
