10 years ago some colleagues and I wondered how we might measure and compare how well organisations are doing with data. This Thursday we're sharing what 5 years of assessing and benchmarking data maturity in over 1000 commercial, public sector and not-for-profit organisations tells us. Do come!
Make sure you're signed up - free - for first sight of all the findings.

It's really easy to feel powerless in the world. For most of us our only power is how we vote and how we spend our hard earned cash. Last year I took out a subscription to @ethicalconsumer.bsky.social . I'm thoroughly enjoying this month's magazine. Do subscribe
and use it to exercise your power!
