What you'll learn

The Data Edit explores topics that matter to data and business leaders. From AI adoption and maturity assessments to understanding why 80% of AI projects never reach production, our hosts deliver real talk about what separates successful implementations from expensive failures. They tackle data governance and ESG considerations, exploring how to balance innovation with compliance, sustainability commitments, and environmental impact while building trust in your data systems.

The conversations also dive into the hidden costs of data centres, power consumption challenges, and cloud infrastructure decisions organisations face as data demands grow exponentially. Above all, they focus on strategy and business value why proof of value matters more than proof of concept, and how to align data initiatives with genuine business outcomes rather than chasing technology for its own sake
