The best way to do that is by creating data products. How you get there might be different but don't lose focus on turning data into value."The number one barrier to your ability to drive value of data is not your technology, it's your people and how you organize your team."Focus on the point of what you are trying to deliver, not the actual output. It's not about delivering a dashboard, it's about creating a sustainable way to explore, share, and consume information/insights, whatever form that takes.!Controversial!: There are 3 phases to getting to data driven; 1) is building a data lake or ocean, 2) is data mesh, and 3) is getting to a data product factory equivalent.It's easy to try to put the cart before the horse in data. Before doing something like data mesh, you have to think how you will develop data as a function in your organization.Understanding the data product manager role and leveraging data product managers well is crucial to building an effective data product strategy and practice. They are your data product CEOs.A CDO's effectiveness depends on if they have a true seat at the exec table - can they create the necessary change - and how many people in the...
Today I'm chatting with Bruno Aziza, Head of Data & Analytics at Google Cloud. Bruno leads a team of outbound product managers in charge of BigQuery, Dataproc, Dataflow and Looker and we dive deep on what Bruno looks for in terms of skills for these leaders. Bruno describes the three patterns of operational alignment he's observed in data product management, as well as why he feels ownership and customer obsession are two of the most important qualities a good product manager can have. Bruno and I also dive into how to effectively abstract the core problem you're solving, as well as how to determine whether a problem might be solved in a better way. Highlights / Skip to: Bruno introduces himself and explains how he created his “CarCast” podcast (00:45) Bruno describes his role at Google, the product managers he leads, and the specific Google Cloud products in his portfolio (02:36) What Bruno feels are the most important attributes to look for in a good data product manager (03:59) Bruno details how a good product manager focuses on not only the core problem, but how the problem is currently solved and whether or not that's acceptable (07:20) What effective abstracting the problem looks like in Bruno's view and why he positions product management as a way to help users move forward in their career (12:38) Why Bruno sees extracting value from data as the number one pain point for data teams and their respective companies (17:55) Bruno gives his definition of a data product (21:42) The three patterns Bruno has observed of operational alignment when it comes to data product management (27:57) Bruno explains the best practices he's seen for cross-team goal setting and problem-framing (35:30) Quotes from Today's Episode “What's happening in the industry is really interesting. For people that are running data teams today and listening to us, the makeup of their teams is starting to look more like what we do [in] product management.” — Bruno Aziza (04:29) “The problem is the problem, so focus on the problem, decompose the problem, look at the frictions that are acceptable, look at the frictions that are not acceptable, and look at how by assembling a solution, you can make it most seamless for the individual to go out and get the job done.” – Bruno Aziza (11:28) “As a product manager, yes, we're in the business of software, but in fact, I think you're in the career management business. Your job is to make sure that whatever your customer's job is that you're making it so much easier that they, in fact, get so much more done, and by doing so they will get promoted, get the next job.” – Bruno Aziza (15:41) “I think that is the task of any technology company, of any product manager that's helping these technology companies: don't be building a product that's looking for a problem. Just start with the problem back and solution from that. Just make sure you understand the problem very well.” (19:52) “If you're a data product manager today, you look at your data estate and you ask yourself, ‘What am I building to save money? When am I building to make money?' If you can do both, that's absolutely awesome. And so, the data product is an asset that has been built repeatedly by a team and generates value out of data.” – Bruno Aziza (23:12) “[Machine learning is] hard because multiple teams have to work together, right? You got your business analyst over here, you've got your data scientists over there, they're not even the same team. And so, sometimes you're struggling with just the human aspect of it.” (30:30) “As a data leader, an IT leader, you got to think about those soft ways to accomplish the stuff that's binary, that's the hard [stuff], right? I always joke, the hard stuff is the soft stuff for people like us because we think about data, we think about logic, we think, ‘Okay if it makes sense, it will be implemented.' For most of us, getting stuff done is through people. And people are emotional, how can you express the feeling of achieving that goal in emotional value?” – Bruno Aziza (37:36) Links As referenced by Bruno, “Good Product Manager/Bad Product Manager”: https://a16z.com/2012/06/15/good-product-managerbad-product-manager/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brunoaziza/ Bruno's Medium Article on Competing Against Luck by Clayton M.

On the show this week, Mark Mirchandani and Stephanie Wong share two popular episodes of Bruno Aziza's YouTube series Data Journeys. First up, Bruno talks with Aaron Biller of Postmates about their triangle of complex data that includes customer, courier, and merchant. He details their data storage and analytics structure, describing it as a reverse pyramid of tons of data with few engineers to manage and analyze it. To handle this, Postmates takes a stay-out-of-the-way approach by providing good data and letting the analysts do what they do best without micromanaging. Aaron talks about this data architecture, including the use of BigQuery as data lakes to keep data storage simple, and how Google collaboration tools streamline access and authorization tasks. Communication and flexibility are important, Aaron tells us, and he offers other advice for companies designing data systems. Feedback loops, dedicated training, and an open environment with no silos also help foster a productive, healthy data workplace. Matteo of Delivery Hero speaks to Bruno next. With the goal of increasing their global reach and offerings, it's important that Delivery Hero has a smooth data system. Matteo outlines the new data structure they've built to ease onboarding of new companies and territories and describes different use cases for their data. From determining the number of delivery people necessary in each area to offering personalized customer recommendations, Delivery Hero uses Google offerings like Google Analytics and BigQuery to interpret collected data. Matteo details how they tailor data infrastructures for each use case and offers tips to help companies think through their data infrastructure design.

At the end of every year, you're probably asking the same questions we are. What are the big changes coming next year? How do I stay ahead of them? And what's separating real trends from the hype?To answer these questions, we are excited to bring together some of the top minds in the industry. In this special episode, we'll pick their brains and dig into what you need to know to thrive in the year ahead. You'll hear from three incredible guests -- all of whom are building and shaping the future of data and analytics:First, Ben Taylor, the Chief AI Evangelist at DataRobotThen, the Global Field CTO of Databricks, Chris D'Agostino.And finally, Bruno Aziza, the Head of Data & Analytics at Google Cloud.Nothing is off the table. So whether you want to hear about augmented everything, dig into the debate around different cloud platforms, or learn why analytics has become more impactful than ever, this is the episode for you.Key TakeawaysCDOs must deliver simplicity but contend with complexity: As the data ecosystem continues to introduce new innovation at an ever increasing rate, data leaders must grapple with all these new capabilities. At the same time, however, the rising need for access to this innovation from nontechnical, business professionals means CDOs must simultaneously deliver simple, intuitive experiences that empower the rest of the businessIs the data warehouse on the way out? D'Agostino makes a bold prediction that within 10 years, the traditional data warehouse won't exist. That begs the question: what will replace it? The lakehouse, data mesh, and data fabric are all contenders, but require organizational changes, not just the introduction of new technologies, as Aziza points out. Preventing bias within models: A consistent problem in the industry - one that we've touched on several times this year - is the potential for machine learning and AI to scale bias in unprecedented ways. As we enter 2022, it will become even more imperative that you and your team are able to answer questions like “how will this model potentially amplify basis,” “how can we prevent biases,” or “what biases exist in our data sets?” Creating an ecosystem of data sharing: The rise of analytics exchanges creates massive opportunity for businesses for two reasons. First, it allows users to share data across platforms at a faster rate. And second, users are now able to share more than just data, but actual assets at an improved rate.In 2022, AI, ML, and data products must prove value: For years, companies have experimented with AI and ML, but as Taylor points out, the disillusionment with the impact of these experiments is at an all time high. So whether you're building data products or launching new AI use cases, data leaders need to lead with the value they will deliver, not only imagine the art of what's possible.--The Data Chief is presented by our friends at ThoughtSpot.

In a data-driven world, insights rule the day. The big question is: How? Data Science or Data Warehousing? Python, R or SQL? Embedded or standalone? These are just some of the decisions that today's analytics leaders must answer. Check out this episode of DMRadio to hear host @eric_kavanagh interview several guests, including Bruno Aziza of Google, Eyal David of Model9, and Gael Gioux of Groupe Mutuel.
Want to stay updated on the latest tech trends?Myself and Bruno Aziza will be discussing the latest trends in tech, AI and data science!This will cover everything from the new Ray-Ban smart glasses to the metaverse, as well as the biggest AI and tech trends for 2022, as well as discussions about the latest books we've read, retail trends, and AI ethics.
Inside-out or top-down? Those two options now dominate discussion in the data field, as analytic teams decide whether to embrace a data mesh, or a data fabric. The former is federated, focused on domains of data and a largely self-service approach; the latter leverages the traditional, centralized approach to data management, and a specific information architecture that requires strong organizational leadership. Register for this special edition of DMRadio to hear Host @eric_kavanagh interview Bruno Aziza of Google Cloud, along with Gavin Robertson of WhamTech, and a special guest. They'll discuss the key differences between these two approaches, as well as the technology components that are changing the game, including AI and machine learning, plus automation and augmentation.
Mark Mirchandani is back this week with cohost Bukola Ayodele. We’re talking with Eric Schmidt and Bruno Aziza about all the awesome new analytics, data, and AI launches from last week’s Google Cloud Next conference. Our guests start the show outlining the challenges clients face when storing, organizing, and analyzing data in the cloud. These needs have inspired Google solutions that focus on simplifying data management for customers. Next announcements like BigQuery Omni, which helps customers achieve full data visibility with cross-cloud analytics, and DataPlex, which facilitates data management at scale, will change the way companies think about their data. BigQuery integration with AppSheets and the new Cloud Looker LookML let customers build once and access from anywhere. The new Looker and Tableau integration revolutionizes the use of the semantic model in Tableau, allowing things like company-established data governance and the Looker Blocks ecosystem to pull into Tableau analysis. New Looker Blocks specifically targeted to the healthcare industry were also introduced at Next. We talk about the ML announcements including Vertex AI Workbench, a fully-managed service used for data exploration aimed at simplifying the workloads of data engineers. Serverless Spark on Google Cloud shares these goals by making performance tuning, scaling, infrastructure provisioning, and other tasks fully-managed. The new PostgreSQL interface for Spanner lets clients use tools already developed in PostgreSQL while leveraging the global scaling and other benefits of Spanner.

Stephanie Wong and Jenny Brown are your hosts this week, discussing data analytics with the yin and yang of the field, Bruno Aziza and Eric Schmidt. Our guests introduce us to three new Google offerings, Big Query Omni, Dataplex, and the Analytics Hub, and discuss the uses and implications of each and how they work together to achieve goals. Bruno and Eric describe challenges in data analytics and how Google uses these as opportunities to create problem-solving systems that solve real client problems. Through real-world examples from companies like Equifax, we see how companies are getting more information from their data in a way that creates actionable opportunities to improve customer experiences. For multi-cloud companies, Big Query Omni gets the most out of data that exists in multiple clouds. To accomplish this, Google takes the analytics to the data and is able to reach all appropriate data across clouds without having to move it. This allows for cheaper analysis with much less system downtime. Support for Azure was added this year. The new Dataplex software helps customers intelligently manage data assets, especially in distributed systems. Dataplex lets companies automatically discover data, make data secure without having to move it, and apply governance and policies centrally so the data is accessible. Rather than sit unused, data can now be found easily, analyzed securely, and put to work for companies no matter where their data lives. For analytic asset sharing, Analytics Hub lets companies coordinate with others to get the most use out of their data efficiently. Analytics Hub gets to data value as quickly and easily as possible. Companies can publish, discover, and subscribe to shared assets, create exchanges that combine data sets, and curate exchanges of data and insights for full information sharing.

In this episode, we hear from Bruno Aziza, Group Vice President at AI and Data Analytics at Oracle. Aziza encourages his customers to think of the AI acronym not simply as artificial intelligence, but rather as an “applied and invisible” form of augmentation that allows organizations and individuals to get to their end goals faster. Data analysts spend about 80% of their time just preparing data before it can even be analyzed. By applying AI, that time can be cut to nearly nothing, errors can be reduced, and business analysts can reappropriate their time. This allows companies to analyze more efficiently and ask better questions to create a more productive organization. Listen in to hear Aziza share more, including specific examples of company successes. Visit Oracle.com for more information. Aziza also encourages you to learn from customer stories and interviews in his web series, Destination:Insight, on The Oracle Analytics YouTube page.
