Building a strong data culture in nonprofits and public sector organizations can bring big advantages. When leaders focus on using data, they save time, raise more money, and make better choices for their organizations. Even though it might seem tough to invest in data with limited budgets, the long-term benefits make it worthwhile. By using data to guide their actions, organizations improve how they work and make a bigger impact on the people they serve. In this episode, Drew shares exactly how creating a culture of data can lead to these positive changes. You'll also hear real examples of organizations using data to make smarter choices, improve their programs, and build long-term success. You'll hear: (02:45) How investing in data capacity saves time and allows your organization to focus on its mission. (04:00) The real reason many organizations remain stuck in manual and time-consuming reporting. (05:10) How better data leads to securing that next six-figure grant for your nonprofit. (07:05) The challenge three out of four nonprofit leaders face when evaluating and reporting impact. (09:30) Why data is essential for making better strategic decisions and empowering leaders to think long-term.
For many organizations, the challenge isn't just in collecting or analyzing data—it's in making data a core part of the decision-making process. Leaders often find it difficult to embed a culture where data-driven decisions are not just encouraged but are the norm. Despite having access to valuable data, teams may hesitate to use it due to a lack of confidence, unclear expectations, or insufficient support from leadership. In a previous episode, we explored what defines a strong culture of data, including leadership commitment, data literacy, and governance. But today, we're taking it a step further by discussing the practical strategies you can implement to cultivate this culture within your own organization. You'll hear: (02:25) How you can create rituals around data to make it a regular part of organizational practices (04:40) Why asking questions instead of giving answers encourages data-driven decision-making (08:14) What celebrating data use publicly does to foster a positive and inclusive data culture Resources Mentioned: EP41 Does Your Nonprofit Have a Data Culture? Multipliers by Liz Wiseman
What is a data culture? When we talk about culture, it's about an environment. It's about practices. It's about habits. It's kind of like the air you breathe—the part of an organization that's sometimes hard to pinpoint but is always there. A data culture means creating an environment where the use of data is a priority in decision-making and is part of everything you do. You gather evidence, collect data, evaluate programs, and use this information to make decisions about management, fundraising, and more. A data culture has several key elements, and we'll cover five of them so you can understand what's important for building an organization that uses data in everything it does. Data should not be an afterthought but a central part of how an organization operates, makes decisions, and evaluates its impact. You'll hear: (03:11) How strong commitment from leadership drives a data culture (05:52) Why data literacy is crucial across your organization (07:10) What it means to make data accessible and usable throughout the organization (08:59) The importance of establishing a framework for effective data management (11:24) How to integrate data into daily decision-making processes

Section 619 of IDEA's Part B focuses on the important element of early childhood special education services and supports. However, the various nature of preschool programs can make collecting high-quality data a challenge even for those with an iron—or should we say steel—will. In Mississippi, the quest to collect high-quality preschool data means working alongside the state's LEAs to overcome these shared challenges and to develop a sustainable culture of high-quality data, for example through an updated child outcome summary process designed to capture a fuller, more accurate picture of child progress. In this episode of A Date with Data, host Amy Bitterman heads South for a friendly sit-down with two of Mississippi's steel magnolias of preschool special education, Early Childhood Special Education 619 Supervisor Candice Taylor and 619 Coordinator Rebecca Palculict, to learn more. We're talking about new ideas in the Old South, and you're invited to come along.

Episode OverviewMany CDOs believe that transitioning their companies to a data-driven culture is the #1 roadblock to fulfilling their data strategies. In this episode of CDO Matters, Malcolm provides his insights on what behaviors and mindsets are needed from CDOs to model the culture they wish others outside the data and analytics function to embrace. Malcolm posits that meaningful culture change must necessarily start within data teams and that until CDOs themselves embrace being more data-driven, they can't realistically ask others to do the same.

Thanks to GenAI, we have an overabundance of tools, models, and capabilities. However, the use and impact of these advancements is yet to be known. That's why in the age of technological innovation, traditional skills like fact-checking are more important than ever to ensure that the technology and predictions are correct. Guy Scriven, U.S. Technology Editor at The Economist, is on the frontlines of the AI explosion. In his tenure at the publication, he has served as a researcher and climate risk correspondent, and has grown his affinity for telling data-driven stories. Satyen and Guy discuss the role of data in journalism, instilling a culture of debate, and the unsexy – but critical – side of AI.--------“We've had this long period of experimentation and excitement. That's been basically marked by the supply side of AI just really ramping up. You've had loads of model makers releasing new models. You've had the cloud players buying enormous amounts of specialized AI chips. You've had thousands of AI application startups who are going to build on top of the model makers, who then use the AI chips from the cloud providers. You've had this boom in the supply side of AI. Now, the big question is whether the enterprise demand meets that and what shape it takes. I think we don't really have a good sense of that until at least the first couple of quarters of next year.” – Guy Scriven--------Time Stamps:*(02:22): Less reporting, more commentary *(13:32): Dataset discovery *(22:34): ChatGPT's hallucination problem *(34:38): AI headlines on the rise *(41:48): What's the next big AI story? *(46:10): Satyen's Takeaways--------SponsorThis podcast is presented by Alation.Learn more:* Subscribe to the newsletter: https://www.alation.com/podcast/* Alation's LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/company/alation/* Satyen's LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ssangani/--------LinksConnect with Guy on LinkedIn

The art of medicine happens when physicians combine data and knowledge to deliver better patient outcomes. A physician that relies both on guidelines and their learned experience is creating a culture of data and insights and improving the lives of patients. Whether you're a doctor or a data leader, knowing how to balance data and intuition will always drive better results.Dr. Bapu Jena is an economist, physician, and Joseph P. Newhouse Professor of Health Care Policy at Harvard Medical School. He bridges his professions to explore the economics of healthcare productivity and medical innovation. Satyen and Bapu discuss leveraging data in healthcare, applying AI in medicine, and measuring the innovation of doctors.--------“We have put a premium on the innovativeness of the technology. There could be a new molecule that attacks a pathway that has never been attacked before. If that molecule doesn't improve life expectancy or improve quality of life, then there's not a lot of value to me in that innovation, even though it's certainly innovative. I care more about whether or not it impacts patients' lives. The correlator to that is that you could have a medication which does not appear to be that quote, unquote, ‘innovative,' at all because it's just a reboot, in some respect, of other medications. But, it's taken in a way that people are more likely to be adherent to. Those types of technologies are sometimes pooh-poohed on, but they could be very valuable because what ultimately matters is the outcome of whether or not a person gets better when they're on that medication, not how innovative it is. This is also a problem when it comes to data-driven interventions, as well. Because, there's a lot of interest in AI and non-medical technologies, or non-life science technologies. The key there is you've got to demonstrate that there's some outcome benefit.” – Bapu Jena--------Time Stamps:*(03:23): Predictable randomness *(12:13): Data points tracking intensity of care *(25:48): AI in medicine *(31:29): The politics of standards of care *(38:41): The challenges of influencing change *(51:18): Satyen's Takeaways--------SponsorThis podcast is presented by Alation.Learn more:* Subscribe to the newsletter: https://www.alation.com/podcast/* Alation's LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/company/alation/* Satyen's LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ssangani/--------LinksRead Bapu's book Random Acts of MedicineRandom Acts of Medicine SubstackListen to Freakonomics MD podcast
Over the last two seasons of Data Radicals, we've seen that data experts have been promoted to leadership roles. It's proof that organizations are seeing the value of data and the significance of establishing a data culture.In this episode, you'll hear from past guests like Stan McChrystal, Tricia Wang, and Paul Leonardi as they discuss traits of a successful data leader, adapting your data strategies, and the importance of soft skills.--------“I found that if I told somebody to do a task, they might try to do that task. But if I say, ‘Create this effect,' they owned it because they felt a level of responsibility for what approach that they chose, and it made it much stickier.” – Stan McChrystal, Retired US Army General“I think having gone through the valley of suffering myself, I have a massive amount of respect for founders because they carry a weight that most people will never realize. So it's hard for me not to like them.” – Jepson Taylor, Chief AI Strategist at Dataiku“Those CDOs that are most successful quickly establish trust within business, with business sponsors. They work with the business sponsors to identify what are the one or two or three most important things to them and see if they can solve those questions, even if it's with a very small subset of data, to begin to develop that relationship, that trust.” – Randy Bean, Author of Fail Fast, Learn Faster“You have to be able to have a learner's mindset. You have to understand what different teams and functions do and how they play into a bigger picture so that you can get into cause and effect. And then when you start to do that, you have a lot more ability to actually have impact.” – Wendy Turner-Williams, CDO at Tableau--------Time Stamps:*(00:48): Randy Bean: Alignment with expectations *(02:39): Jennifer Belissent: The diplomatic CDO*(05:01): Taylor Brown: Lead by example*(05:44): Ashish Thusoo: The DNA of a CDO*(07:48): Stan McChrystal: The strength of humility*(15:40): Paul Leonardi: Collaboration, computation, and change*(17:50): Mike Capone: Tapping your network*(18:39): Tricia Wang: The other vital “C's”*(19:41): Bernard Liautaud: Setting your North*(21:03): Jepson Taylor: Heroism and the human touch*(22:45): Wendy Turner-Williams: Leading future leaders--------SponsorThis podcast is presented by Alation.Learn more:* Subscribe to the newsletter: https://www.alation.com/podcast/* Alation's LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/company/alation/* Satyen's LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ssangani/--------LinksListen to Randy Bean's episodeListen to Jennifer Belissent's episodeListen to Taylor Brown's episodeListen to Ashish Thusoo's episodeListen to Stan McChrystal's episodeListen to Paul Leonardi's episodeListen to Mike Capone's episodeListen to Tricia Wang's episodeListen to Bernard Liautaud's episodeListen to Jepson Taylor's episodeListen to Wendy Turner-Williams's episode
How does the NBA use data to compete and improve? When it comes to driving business growth with data, transparent communication makes success a slam dunk. By sharing innovative ideas and best practices across the business, one all-star team elevates the success of others across the entire organization.Michael James, SVP and Head of Data Strategy and Analytics at the NBA, is committed to creating a better fan experience and making better business decisions through collaboration. In this role, he bridges executive leadership and technical expertise to create a data-driven culture in constant pursuit of innovation. Satyen and Mike discuss the NBA's digital transformation, the future of GenAI in the league, and attracting more people to sports business analytics.--------“We have very active communication with our teams. You build up a relationship over time and you start to realize, ‘If this person is sharing this thing that worked, we have a good sense of who else might be able to benefit from it.' We'll make sure to package that up in a way that is not only informative, ‘Here's what the team did,' but also has the tangible next steps. ‘Here's what you can actually do with this to drive the business.' And it's no different on the data side. We've built a ton of data products through the years at the league level for our teams, also for different departments within our league office as well. But, the goal of all of those products is to make sure that we are driving better business decisions, we're driving a better fan experience, and, ultimately, that's going to lead to more revenue.” – Michael James--------Time Stamps:*(13:16): Sharing the (data) ball among the league*(17:34): Establishing best practices across an enterprise*(37:08): Measuring performance to measure culture*(41:16): Improving DEI in data*(46:57): Satyen's Takeaways--------SponsorThis podcast is presented by Alation.Learn more:* Subscribe to the newsletter: https://www.alation.com/podcast/* Alation's LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/company/alation/* Satyen's LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ssangani/--------LinksFollow Michael on LinkedIn
If you're on a journey of fitness, you know that perfectionism is your enemy. The same goes for data. There will always be another achievement that you wish to reach. Instead, focus on creating habits that will lead you to better data decisions and long term health.Ameen Kazerouni knows this journey well. Ameen has spent his career at the intersection of science, data, and technology to create intuitive, data-driven experiences. In his role as CTO of Orangetheory Fitness, he is driving consumer wellness journeys by turning workout data into feedback and personalized recommendations. In this episode, Satyen and Ameen discuss data-driven exercise, keeping humans in the feedback loop, and AI data governance.--------“We make a lot of investment in demystifying the Orangetheory workout. And there's a lot of parallels to data, and I love that because when you think about data in an organization, ‘Well, it's going to be a multimillion dollar investment.' And it can get so overwhelming that instead of being like, ‘Let's start piece by piece,' the instinct becomes, ‘Let's just keep guessing instead.' Which is never a good idea. You should never, ‘Let's just revert to not using data at all because it's going to be really difficult to use data perfectly.' It's the same thing with fitness. You don't revert to doing nothing at all because meeting all the requirements will be hard. Showing up and getting started is what gets you going.” – Ameen Kazerouni--------Time Stamps:*(04:42): AI in the workout*(13:56): Data as a habit*(25:45): AI data governance*(38:36): The future of connected health*(44:08): Satyen's Takeaways--------SponsorThis podcast is presented by Alation.Learn more:* Subscribe to the newsletter: https://www.alation.com/podcast/* Alation's LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/company/alation/* Satyen's LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ssangani/--------LinksFollow Ameen on LinkedIn

A large integrated oil and gas company has invited me to address their global center for data excellence. That such an organizational creation is necessary is both telling for some and enlightening for others. Data has been central to my work on digital innovations in oil and gas from the very beginning because digital innovation is almost always about capturing value from a reliable data asset. My simple digital innovation formula includes data at its very core: Sensors generate data Analytics (AI and machine learning tools) interpret the data Semi-autonomous and fully autonomous devices (robots, drones) carry out real work using that data Cloud computing is where data lives Trusted ledger services provide confidence in the data. In hindsight, it's rather sensible that a center for data excellence is now part of the organization structure of a big oil and gas player. Without better data acumen, oil and gas companies are like street brawlers showing up for a fist fight only to discover the opponent is equipped with a pistol. We're seriously outgunned in the fight for talent, the battle for capital investment, and the latest race called energy transition (which has a huge data theme to it). The work culture of oil and gas is the basis for why our industry lags other sectors in how we think about and approach data.
As human beings, we're not accustomed to talking about data. In order to learn about new subjects, we traditionally use stories. However, bridging the gap between data and stories allows us to cross that barrier and create data-driven organizations.In this episode, Satyen interviews Ashish Thusoo, GM of AI and ML at AWS. Previously, Ashish was the Founder and CEO of Qubole, a pioneering cloud data lake platform. He also served Facebook as the Engineering Manager of Data Infrastructure where he co-created Apache Hive with the aim to democratize data access and analytics. Satyen and Ashish discuss the accelerated push to the cloud, building a data culture, and how the economic climate is impacting customers.--------“You have to remember, human beings are trained from the get-go to talk about stories, not data. That's how we learn. It takes special discipline to bring the conversation back to data, saying that, ‘You have this anecdote somewhere. Get me the data that proves or disproves it.' That specific mindset has got to be inserted in the organization, and that's how it becomes data-driven. It's a very fine line, but if you cross that line, essentially you become a data-driven organization. But, if you stay on the side of anecdotes and stories, then you can't bridge that.” – Ashish Thusoo--------Time Stamps:*(02:33): The SQL excitement that powered Hive *(13:42): The evolution of Qubole's founder hypothesis *(22:48): Navigating Amazon with AI/ML *(31:41): The future of AI/ML investment*(42:01): People are the foundation of the data culture*(45:57): Satyen's Takeaways--------SponsorThis podcast is presented by Alation.Learn more:* Subscribe to the newsletter: https://www.alation.com/podcast/* Alation's LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/company/alation/* Satyen's LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ssangani/--------LinksFollow Ashish on LinkedInLearn more about AI/ML services on AWS
