Podcasts about data leadership

Der beste Data Engineer wird Führungskraft und sammelt dann möglichst viele „Indianer“ ein um ein wichtiger Leader zu sein und viel Geld zu bekommen. Das klingt irgendwie total widersinnig. Ist es auch. Aber warum es trotzdem oft genau so passiert und wie es besser geht, darüber spricht Christian Krug, der Host des Podcasts „Unf*ck Your Data“ mit Stefanie Fröhner, Gründerin von DatenMenschen.Oft LinkedIn gibt es fast mehr Kalendersprüche zu Führung als sich dort KI-Experten tummeln, denn irgendwie hat da jeder eine Meinung dazu. Der Konsens klingt nach einer wilden Kreuzung aus Steve Jobs und Mutter Theresa und da sind wir noch bei den eher guten Posts und Sprüchen. Es sind auch ganz andere Perlen dabei.Das Problem: Richtig Ahnung haben die wenigsten. Steffi hat allerdings 10 ihrer 15 Konzernjahre in Führungsrollen verbracht und das erfolgreich, wenn auch mit allen Höhen und Tiefen.Eines wird ganz schnell klar: Führung ist keine Charaktereigenschaft oder ein Geschenk.Führung ist eine Rolle und Aufgabe im Unternehmen.In Datenbereich gibt es dabei ein paar besondere Herausforderungen, denn allzu oft werden eben Menschen befördert die gut mit Daten arbeiten. Also Engineers oder Scientists. Diese Fachgenies möchten den nächsten Schritt auf der Gehaltsleiter machen und landen so oft in Führungsrollen ohne dies wirklich zu wollen. Das führt dann schnell zu einigen Problemen. Denn wenn du es gewohnt bist gute Lösungen zur Verfügung zu stellen, dann tendierst du dazu dies auch in der neuen Rollen zu tun.Das ist nicht nur einseitig und anstrengend, sondern blockiert auch die Entwicklung deines Teams. Und das ist ja eigentlich auch eine Aufgabe der Führungskraft.Denn immer wieder wird Führung mit Personalmanagement gleichgesetzt. Und versteht das nicht falsch. Management geht neben dem Day Job und ist ein wichtiger Teil der Arbeit, aber eben nicht nur. Denn Führung braucht Zeit und ist damit oft ein full time, mindestens aber schnell ein part time Job mit 50-75% der Arbeitszeit.Sowohl Steffi als auch Christian haben hier ihre eigenen Erfahrungen gemacht, die sie in der Folge teilen.Demnächst starten auch die Data Leadership weeks von Stefanie, in denen noch mehr Data Leader zu Wort kommen.Und weil das Thema so wichtig ist, haben wir uns extra Zeit genommen und die bisher längste Folge rausgeknallt!▬▬▬▬▬▬ Profile: ▬▬▬▬Zum LinkedIn-Profil von Stefanie: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stefanie-fr%C3%B6hner/Zu den Data Leadership Weeks: https://datenmenschen-hub.circle.so/c/data-leadership-weeks/Zum LinkedIn-Profil von Christian: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christian-krug/Christians Wonderlink: https://wonderl.ink/@christiankrugUnf*ck Your Data auf Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/unfck-your-data▬▬▬▬▬▬ Buchempfehlung: ▬▬▬▬Buchempfehlung von Stefanie: What Got You Here Won't Get You There - Marshall GoldsmithAlle Empfehlungen in Melenas Bücherladen: https://gunzenhausen.buchhandlung.de/unfuckyourdata▬▬▬▬▬▬ Hier findest Du Unf*ck Your Data: ▬▬▬▬Zum Podcast auf Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6Ow7ySMbgnir27etMYkpxT?si=dc0fd2b3c6454bfaZum Podcast auf iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/unf-ck-your-data/id1673832019Zum Podcast auf Deezer: https://deezer.page.link/FnT5kRSjf2k54iib6Zum Podcast auf Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@unfckyourdata▬▬▬▬▬▬ Merch: ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬https://unfckyourdata-shop.de/▬▬▬▬▬▬ Kontakt: ▬▬▬▬E-Mail: christian@uyd-podcast.com▬▬▬▬▬▬ Timestamps: ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬00:00 Führung im Datenbereich: Einleitung und...

«Leadership is about sowing the common vision and the common way forward, bringing the people with you.»How can a nuclear physicist transform into a data leader in the industrial sector? Kristiina Tiilas from Finland shares her fascinating journey from leading digitalization programs at Fortum to shaping data-driven organizations at companies like Outokumpu and Kemira. Kristiina provides unique insights into navigating complex data-related projects within traditional industrial environments. With a passion for skydiving and family activities, she balances a demanding career with an active lifestyle, making her an inspiring guest in this episode.We focus on the importance of data competence at the executive level and discuss how organizations can strengthen data understanding without a formal CDO role. Kristiina shares her experiences in developing innovative digitalization games that engage employees and promote a data-driven culture. Through concrete examples rather than technical jargon, she demonstrates how complex concepts can be made accessible and understandable. This approach not only provides a competitive advantage but also transforms data into an integral part of the company's decision-making processes.Here are my key takeaways:The AI hype became a wake-up moment for Data professionals in Finland taking the international stage. As a leader in dat you need to balance data domain knowledge and leadership skills. Both are important.Leadership is important to provide an arena for your data people to deliver value.As a leader you are in a position that requires you to find ways of making tacit knowledge explicit. If not you are nit able too use that knowledge to train other people or a model.CDOThe Chief Data Officer is not really present in Nordic organizations.An executive role for data is discussed much, but in reality not that widespread.Without CDO present, you need to train somebody in the top leadership group to voice data.CDO is different in every organization.Is CDO an intermediate role, to emphasis Data Literacy, or a permanent focus?You can achieve a lot through data focus of other CxOs.Make data topics tangible, this is about lingo, narratives, but also about ways of communicating - Kristiina used gamification as a method.Creating a game to explain concepts in very basic terms with clear outcomes and structure can help with Data Literacy for the entire organization.Data in OT vs. ITPredictions and views on production should be able to be vision also in Operational Settings on all levels. There should not be any restriction in utilizing analytical data in operational settings.Security and timeliness are the big differentiators between OT and IT.These are two angles of the same. They need to be connected.IoT (Internet of Things) requires more interoperability.Extracting data has been a one way process. The influence of Reverse ETL on OT data is interesting to explore further.There are possibilities to create data driven feedback loops in operations.Data TeamsIf you start, start with a team of five: One who knows the data (Data Engineering) One who knows the businessOne who understands Analytics / AIOne who understands the users / UXOne to lead the teamYou can improve your capabilities one step at a time - build focus areas that are aligned with business need an overall strategy.If you expect innovation from your data team, you need to decouple them from the operational burden.Show your value in $$$.

What happens when an industry as heavily regulated and historically slow-moving as pharma is forced to accelerate digital transformation? In today's episode, I welcome Florian Schnappauf, Vice President of Enterprise Commercial Strategy at Veeva Systems, to discuss how Chief Digital Officers (CDOs) are reshaping the pharmaceutical landscape and why their role is now more critical than ever. The pharmaceutical sector faces mounting pressure to innovate faster, manage costs, and compete with digital-first biotechs. Research predicts the industry will spend $4.5 billion on digital transformation by 2030, a shift that has led to the emergence of CDOs in the pharma C-suite. But what does this role actually entail, and how does it help companies navigate the complexities of drug development, clinical trials, and commercialization? Florian shares insights on how CDOs are not just supporting digital initiatives but actively orchestrating, building, and operating them. From managing the sheer volume of data generated by clinical trials to ensuring that digital tools enhance—not hinder—the drug development process, the CDO is now a key differentiator between industry leaders and laggards. We also explore how effective digital leadership can shorten timeframes from drug discovery to patient treatment, improve communication with healthcare providers, and ultimately ensure that pharma companies achieve more with fewer resources. With regulatory hurdles, technological advancements, and shifting market dynamics, the pharmaceutical industry is at a pivotal moment. So, what does the future hold for digital leaders in pharma? How will CDOs continue to evolve, and what lessons can other industries learn from their journey? Join us as we break down the digital transformation of pharma and the leadership required to drive meaningful change. And as always, I'd love to hear your thoughts—do you think pharma is adapting quickly enough, or is there still a long way to go? Check out the What Pharma Needs Next 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

Welcome to episode three of MIT’s Professional Education series in Data Leadership with Dr. Abel Sanchez and Prof. John R. Williams. Dr. Abel Sanchez, Executive Director of the Geospatial Data Center at MIT, and Prof. John R. Williams, Director of the Geospatial Data Center at MIT, open this episode on data leadership by stressing the importance of smaller teams, trusting the people you hire, and how a “5-year plan” needs to be fully adaptable to the ever-changing environment. Join us as we explore how the vision from 20 years ago has shifted and how it is crucial to choose a framework that suits the state of your company today.

Welcome to episode two of MIT Professional Education’s Data Leadership with Dr. Abel Sanchez and Prof. John R. Williams. In this episode, we explore solutions to problems obstructing the digitization of different processes and organizations. A huge factor that slows the digitizing progress in a company is bureaucracy, where policies either create a bottleneck or a pathway for technological revitalization or revolution. Dr. Sanchez finishes with insights into the history of open-source software such as GitHub, where coders, software developers, and engineers create innovative ways of producing software faster and more efficiently that take enterprises years to develop and release.

We want to welcome you to MIT Professional Education’s podcast series, Data Leadership. In this podcast series, renowned MIT Faculty members Dr. Abel Sanchez, Executive Director of the Geospatial Data Center, and Prof. John R. Williams, Director of the Geospatial Data Center, delve into the convergence of C-suite executives and emerging technologies. They explore how organizational leaders, from the top-down (not necessarily the down-up), must strategize to embrace new technology for digital transformation. It’s necessary to harness data generated by these technologies to address the dynamic demands of the market. Dr. Abel Sanchez and Prof. John R. Williams provide a roadmap of how to navigate the complexities of the ever-evolving technological landscape.

The complete digitization of an organization is inevitable in today’s rapidly evolving technological world. As seemingly daily technological advances are made, there can be resistance to the willingness to adopt these valuable tools into an organization. Sometimes slow change is inherent and is deeply rooted in the mentality of “what’s worked” versus “what’s possible.” Leaders at the C-suite level have a tremendous task: Creating a vision for the future while aligning these emerging tools with company culture and values. Dr. Abel Sanchez, Executive Director of the Geospatial Data Center at MIT, and Prof. John R. Williams, Director of the Geospatial Data Center at MIT, open this two-part series on data leadership as it pertains to the slow change of adapting new technologies to organizations due to decision making by C-suite executives. Explore the innovation and genius of generative AI tools like GitHub and ChatGPT 3. Also, examine why certain technologies, such as cloud technology, have yet to receive better recognition or marketing. Join us as we explore the emerging technological frontier as an intersection between data, emerging technologies, and how C-suite-level decision-makers adapt in the ever-evolving information age.
