A9) What percentage of our data is actually used to drive business decisions? If we could find a way to identify and focus our time on that small percentage, we could all get our weekends and holidays back. :) #eWEEKchat

[Adrian Estala @AdrianEstala_]

A8) Focus on people. Create a culture that celebrates new ideas, data-driven decisions and embraces rapid iteration. #eWEEKchat

[Adrian Estala @AdrianEstala_]

A7) continued...We need to make sure that we are building a sustainable abstraction layer that can enable flexibility and change on the back end, without disrupting the data science and business consumers on the front. #eWEEKchat

[Adrian Estala @AdrianEstala_]

A7) There are even bigger shifts on the horizon for the back-end data architecture. On the front end, we are rapidly enabling users with more tools. These dependencies could cripple our ability to maintain growth and innovation. #eWEEKchat

[Adrian Estala @AdrianEstala_]

A6) The engineer in me expects a complete transformation for how we think of and use data. But, as a grey haired IT veteran, I understand we have a tremendous amount of work to do in establishing reliable governance frameworks to make all of this 'hype' a reality. #eWEEKchat

[Adrian Estala @AdrianEstala_]

A5) Self-service. As a CDO, one of my favorite moments was being a part of a business focused data citizen enablement program. I would replicate that everywhere. If you want the business to move fast, let them drive! #eWEEKchat

[Adrian Estala @AdrianEstala_]

A4) continued... Prioritize the quality effort where it is valued, define the right access rules after you aggregate the data into a product. #eWEEKchat

[Adrian Estala @AdrianEstala_]

A4) We need to rethink our approach. Instead of focusing effort on the infinite rows and columns on the furthest end of our architecture, we need to focus our efforts on the quality and access to data products that sit within arms reach of our consumers.  #eWEEKchat

[Adrian Estala @AdrianEstala_]

Data quality. Data Access. It is frustrating because we have been struggling (not succeeding) with the same challenges for a long time, we need a new, modern approach.#eWEEKchat

[Adrian Estala @AdrianEstala_]

A2) The obvious answer would be AI anything.
I'm going to be more specific and highlight self-service enablement via data products. Enabling teams to drive and share their own insight with speed and confidence is as powerful a game changer as anything else. #eWEEKchat

[Adrian Estala @AdrianEstala_]

Q1 .What an incredible time to be a data leader.
Most don't have an effective strategy. We are still struggling to master the emerging AI capabilities (understand, prioritize, integrate, sustain) and we lack a focused line of sight for prioritizing business use cases. #eWEEKchat
