Better business decisions happen when the right people have access to the right data at the right time. 

However, Gartner cautions that building a data-driven enterprise is not just about encouraging the use of data in decision making. Data and analytics leaders must lead the development of the appropriate competencies and align work to be consistent with their enterprise’s ambitions for generating information value.

So how can business, data and analytics, and other IT leaders work together to bring their unique competencies to the art and science of effective decision making?

Today, we are joined by Elaine Chan, Regional Vice President, ASEAN and Korea at Denodo, to talk about making better decisions with data.
