How is Stephen building a better working world
Using data and technology in ethical ways for measuring integrity is crucial for building trust transparency, which is increasingly critical to the success of organisations.
Developing and encouraging the present and next generation of data technologists is a key motivator for me. Equally, working with the industry and other organisations to take advantage of available technologies is important, helping them continuously adapt and stay relevant.
I make sure everyone I work with feels included and valued in a supportive team. It is vital everyone understands how their work fits into the bigger picture. When we work together well, we become faster at extracting value through data management, bringing vital insights and the evidence to test hypotheses.
As data volumes increase and appetite continues to grow for shaping data into new contexts, our collective efforts play a crucial role in quantifying scenarios, leading to informed action and shaping a better world.
