Welcome back to Enterprise Product Leadership! I’m your host, Daniel Elizalde. With a new season, comes new changes — one of which is the title of the podcast! From IoT Product Leadership to Enterprise Product Leadership, the podcast is broadening its scope beyond IoT to focus on the overall challenges facing enterprise and industrial product leaders to drive solutions from idea to first release. Joining me today as my first guest of this brand new season is Bill Schmarzo, Chief Innovation Officer at Hitachi Vantara. Bill is known as the ‘Dean of Big Data’ for the work he does in academia. He is also the author of three books that advise organizations on where and how to leverage big data and data science to power their business models.   We’ve all heard the phrase, “Data is the new oil,” but what does that really mean? And more importantly, what does it mean for us as product leaders? In this episode, we dive into this topic as well as the concept of the economic value of data. We also get a masterclass on how Bill works with his customers to prioritize opportunities and capitalize on the value of data.   Episode Details: The Economic Value of Data with Bill Schmarzo: “Data is a unique asset. It never wears out [and] it never depletes. You can use it across an infinite number of use cases at a zero marginal cost [which] makes it the single most asset in the world.” — Bill Schmarzo   About Bill Schmarzo: Bill Schmarzo is the Chief Innovation Officer at Hitachi Vantara. Bill is known as the ‘Dean of Big Data’ for the work he does in academia. He is recognized as an industry leader in big data, data science, design thinking, and data monetization. He is also the author of several books and has published over 350 industry-leading articles and educational videos on the application of big data and data science.   Topics We Discuss in this Episode: Exciting changes to the podcast Guest lineup for this season’s upcoming episodes Bill Schmarzo’s career background About Bill’s current role and focus as Chief Innovation Officer at Hitachi Vantara How to get value out of data Bill’s customer-centric, value-engineering approach Key lessons Bill has learned as a data scientist What it really means to empower your frontline How design-thinking has helped address challenges in data science Why being customer-centric is of critical importance Advice on how you can get support from leadership and senior management to allow for forward-thinking innovation and new ideas within your organization Fascinating concepts around the economic value of data from his newest book, The Economics of Data, Analytics, and Digital Transformation Insights on how product management/leadership roles and data scientists have evolved in terms of working together and determining the economic value of data How do you future-proof your career? Advice for product leaders who are new to developing data value-driven solutions   Product Leader Tip of the Week: Bill’s advice to product leaders who are new to developing data value-driven solutions: Design-thinking is critical. Understand your customers, the customer journey, and service design. You’re going to have to get very intimate with your customers about not providing products that put the onus of usage on them, but designing services that put the onus on you and your design team. Teach all of your business stakeholders how to think like a data scientist. The mentality of thinking like a data scientist (of exploring and bringing in a diverse set of perspectives) in order to find variables and metrics that might be better predictors of performance is key.   To Learn More About Bill Schmarzo: Bill Schmarzo’s LinkedIn Bill Schmarzo’s Books Hitachi Vantara   Related Resources: The Art of Thinking Like a Data Scientist, by Bill Schmarzo The Economics of Data, Analytics, and Digital Transformation: The theorems, laws, and empowerments to guide your organization’s digital transformation, by Bill Schmarzo   Want to Learn More?   Sign up for my newsletter at DanielElizalda.com/Join for weekly advice and best practices directly to your inbox!   Visit DanielElizalda.com/Podcast for additional information, show notes, and episodes.

(03:52)Would you say technology has been the biggest catalyst for change in the machinery industry? Or are there other factors that are creating the need for advanced technology solutions as well? (05:58)Can you, from your perspective, elaborate a bit on the concept of digitalization and more specifically, the digital twin in the context of the industrial machinery? (09:11)Can you help the listeners understand what exactly is Advanced Machine Engineering, and what makes it unique from any other approaches machine builders and their suppliers are using today?

In this episode of I Do, We Do, we interview our very first duo, Bill and Rose Moyer. They are one of the duo’s we admire most and they happen to be Billy’s parents. We chat with them about their different careers, interests and styles and how they have been better together for 40 years! We also discuss the important of growing together rather than growing apart. About Bill and Rose Moyer: Bill and Rose have been married for 40 years. They have four grown kids and eight grandkids. They have always had different careers and interests, but they have made the choice to grow together. Bill works with Billy in SOS Leadership, that they founded together. He has written four books and is one of the top leadership minds in the world. Rose has dedicated her life to social work, mostly serving the elderly. She spent 20 plus years working at Meals on Wheels. What We Discussed in this Interview: Since we’re about to hit our seven year anniversary, we had Bill and Rose reflect on where they were at their seven year anniversary We asked if they consider themselves a couple that’s very different from each other or if they’re more like two peas in a pod In response, Bill and Rose claim that at first, early in their relationship, they were opposites in terms of personality, behavior, and styles based on the DISC Assessment. Now, they are two peas in a pod that finish each other’s sentences. We asked them how they built their relationship from being complete opposites to now being two peas in a pod “Through the years, you get to the point where you just want to be together and so you kind of figure out that by being together sometimes you may do things you may not want to do and sometimes you may try something new and you may think ‘Oh my gosh! That’s really good. I want to keep on doing that.’” We asked them to provide some examples of things that they use to not be crazy about that the other was crazy about in the early years of their marriage and are now crazy about because of the other Rose did not care about sports at all in the beginning years, now she loves sports. Bill use to not be crazy about symphonies, quiet walks, theater, etc and now enjoys all of those things. We how they collaborate with each other within and outside of their careers They support each other in the work they do. They also have worked closely together outside of their careers when they collaborated as youth ministers at their church. This was something they were both passionate about and that they made the decision to do together even though it was like a second job. They loved it! We asked them to describe their process of how they make crucial decisions together “We use the Ben Franklin method,” Bill said. “Where you draw the a line in the middle of a piece of paper and list the pros and cons and talk it out through there; even though one side may be bigger than the other, sometimes things are weighted in a different way, so we look at the importance of that.” They consider logic more so than emotion when it comes to decision-making. “We’re always going to have different ideas, opinions, desires, but it all comes down to why we exist and what our purpose is, and how can we walk that journey together to work it out.” We discussed how Bill and Rose choose to grow together rather than grow apart “If you don’t pay attention to where you are going together, it’s so easy that when you go one degree off and go too far down the road to where you and your partner can have “irreconcilable differences,” which leads to a split. They want to resolve and work through their differences no matter how many differences they may have with each other. Music "Sunny" from Bensound.com.
