Edmonton Data Science Community, CITI and Edmonton Tech Wednesdays: The Core Pillars to Success in Data & Technology

​In this high-level talk, Thiago will explore the several components that enable data & tech projects to succeed and why they should be considered core pillars, from the technical tools used by teams to how data is collected and leveraged. He will discuss how often-neglected processes play a vital role in the business and how ultimately people literacy affect the relationship between team members and stakeholders. Thiago will uncover challenges that slow down business growth and are often seen as “data problems” but, in reality, reflect the lack of harmony among these core components.
