Building data excellence: culture, value and the human side of AI

Hub & Spoken: Data | Analytics | Chief Data Officer | CDO | Data Strategy

In this episode of Hub & Spoken, Jason Foster, CEO and Founder of Cynozure, speaks with Roberto Maranca, data & digital transformation expert and author of Data Excellence.

They explore what it really means to build a 'data fit' organisation, one that treats data capability like physical fitness by understanding where you are, training for where you want to be and making improvement a daily routine.

Drawing from ancient philosophy and modern business, Roberto explains how concepts from Socrates and Aristotle can help leaders rethink culture, value and human responsibility in an AI-driven world.

Together, they discuss how organisations can:

• Shift from seeing data as a tech issue to a leadership mindset

• Build collective intelligence and cultural readiness

• Stay human in the age of intelligent machines
