Ep 16 | Excelling at Data in the 21st Century with Roberto Maranca, VP of Data Excellence at Schneider Electric

In Episode 16 of Driven by Data: The Podcast, Kyle Winterbottom is joined by Roberto Maranca, VP of Data Excellence at Schneider Electric where they discuss what is required for organisations to achieve Data Excellence.

Roberto is one of the most influential people in Data (Data IQ 100 Top 10) and provides fantastic insight and an abundance of metaphors to outline what it takes to truly win with Data, which includes:

  • Why achieving Data Excellence is exactly the same as working out
  • Why the traditional way of doing things isn’t delivering 
  • How organisations have become subject to peer-pressure
  • Why as a data professional you’re a change agent & disruptor 
  • The importance of the element of faith to believe in something better 
  • Why Data has to go viral to change the DNA of a company 
  • The 3 "M’s" you need to address to achieve Data Excellence
  • Why tribal data is; inconsistent, unmeasurable and unmanageable
  • How to erode a portion of the “data debt”
  • Why we are on the second wave on failed digital transformation
  • How data accessibility is an issue but why no one wants ownership
  • Why quality can only be measured through the eye of the consumer
  • The importance of agreed Data Meanings
  • How you'll know you’re moving in the right direction

Happy New Year! We wish you all a very prosperous and safe 2021!

Profile picture for Kyle Winterbottom

Kyle Winterbottom

Founder of Orbition Group, a Search and Talent Solutions business that operates exclusively within the world of Data, Analytics & AI.

I am hugely passionate about enabling organisations to drive decisions and obtain value from the use of Data, Analytics & Artificial Intelligence.

As such, I believe it is imperative that as a community, we share; knowledge, ideas, real-life use cases and inspiration to collectively give back to our industry.

Given my fortunate position of speaking with hundreds, if not thousands of leadership figures within the global Data & Analytics community each year , I feel it is my duty to share the successes, failures, challenges and opportunities.

Therefore, I have positioned Orbition Group to be a facilitator of that knowledge sharing, through these podcasts, events we host and public speaking.
