How to lead with data from a humanistic perspective
Your biggest challenges as a data leader…aren’t technology-related.
Technology is rarely the hardest part of the equation. Things tend to crash and burn during the technology implementation, but that's primarily because of unclear outcomes and strategic misalignment.
So we blame tech, spend more on tech, and go through a few hire and fire rounds of tech leadership, only to land in the same place. The problem is upstream!
I don’t believe many things this firmly, but I’ll show up for this conversation every day if needed.
This is a core belief in our Data Leadership cohort. Here’s what Tyler, a Data Architect, said when asked if he would recommend the cohort to others.
“Absolutely! Because your approach to data work is delivered from a humanistic perspective that prioritizes value to organizations and end users, rather than the particulars/ nuances of the specific tech stack or being the 'alpha nerd' about performance optimization.”
A “humanistic” perspective means that your organization isn’t primarily about data or technology. It’s about creating value and distributing it to the humans that inhabit and engage your organization. Grasping the human element first makes so much of the technology easier.
You can join the next cohort that starts in just a few weeks. In addition to the content, discussion, and community that we’ve offered in past cohorts, you will also get a personalized Hotseat Workshop session. Those sessions are specifically designed to get you unblocked and launch you to the next level.
I’m here,
Sawyer
