Data allows organizations to innovate and transform like never before, but using data to deliver insights comes with great responsibility. In a recent collaboration with Samuel Greengard, Scott Schlesinger, Global Data, Analytics and Practice Leader, dives into the importance of data governance and delivering relevant, personalized, and innovative product, and customer experiences.
