Your Data’s A Mess – Now What?

Tim Gifford
Data is at the heart of every business, but more often than not, it’s a mess. Scattered. Hard to trust. Slowing everything down. Without a solid foundation, every initiative – from AI to insight generation – gets stuck.
Join us for our next Lean BYTES on March 4, where Lean TECHniques’ Chief Innovation Officer, Tim Gifford, will introduce a decision-making framework designed to evaluate your data maturity across five key dimensions.
This straightforward approach will help you assess where you stand today and help you create an actionable plan to build a stronger, more reliable data foundation – ensuring your data works for you, not against you.
