Data: the new currency revolutionising business models

Join us at Computing's next exclusive IT Leaders' Dining Club

Why have a data strategy, and what problem does it solve? We've all heard of data being named the new oil, but even as the amount that we deal with grows exponentially, it remains an under-utilised asset.

Modelling your organisation around data asset management can help to predict customer behaviour, reduce costs and increase efficiencies ahead of competitors. Without a mission statement on how to exploit data assets across the company, data systems and tasks can be duplicated unnecessarily in different departments, driving up costs, and key metrics may not be applied across the organisation.

But where should you start with data strategy, and how can you determine success?

That's the topic for discussion at the next IT Leaders' Dining Club on the 14th of June. Under Chatham House rules, we will discuss:

• Why have a data strategy; what problem does it solve?
• Where do you start with a data strategy - how do you define it?
• How do you identify and ascribe a value to data?
• How does this data strategy affect and integrate with digital transformation?
• What outcomes does the strategy drive, and how do you measure success?

If you are a head of IT, IT director or hold a more senior position, and are at a firm with 1,000 employees or more, then register here.

We will hold the club at the stunning City Social venue in Tower 42, London, with drinks and a three course dinner on us.

Computing's IT Leaders Clubs are a fantastic opportunity to network with other senior executives in similar roles, so sign up today to reserve your place.
