Right now, we’re coming into contact with more data than ever before – from what we see in the news to our professional and personal lives. Graphs and charts are commonplace on front pages and no matter who you are, where you work or where you live, data is no doubt playing an even more significant role in your life.
To help shape the conversation around data, and in a time when we’re all largely at home, arguably consuming more content than ever before, we’ve launched the Data Brilliant podcast. Each month, we’ll be joined by specialist guests as they dig deep into how data is reshaping the world’s businesses, the relationships we hold with each other, and the society we live in.
The series will talk to the vital role of data in our everyday lives; from how we interact and communicate with each other around the world, how we innovate, work every day and how it’s influencing culture. On our journey together, we will also showcase examples of how positive action through data can serve society at all levels and provide real life stories and advice on how to accelerate business value through data.

We talked about what the impact will be on how we lead, manage and collaborate. We also explored how data and technology can be used to enhance the working experience, inspire and support teams during the uncertain times ahead and debated the future of the workplace – and society – in the months and years to come.
So, what did I learn from our conversation? Not only did Meghan and I just find out that we lived very close to each other for almost a decade of our lives, without ever meeting in person, but I also learned three valuable lessons for working, leading and collaborating during this unprecedented time:
Meghan, thank you again for joining us for the inaugural Data Brilliant discussion.
