Join Dylan Anderson, Lead Data Strategy Consultant at Redkite, as he navigates the complex data ecosystem and addresses the multifaceted challenges faced by data professionals today.

Drawing on his extensive experience, Dylan highlights the pervasive issues within the data landscape, including data quality deficiencies, impractical demands, exorbitant costs, and a lack of business-oriented data approaches.

With data significance growing exponentially, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for any single individual to fully comprehend the diverse array of challenges.

The core message is a call for comprehensive integration within the data ecosystem. Dylan aims to shift the focus from fragmented approaches to a holistic understanding of the data ecosystem, its interactions, and the considerations for data engineers and analysts. By exploring the meaning and scope of the data ecosystem, Dylan hopes to foster a paradigm shift in understanding the interconnected nature of data and its domains, envisioning the presentation as a form of data cartography within the intricate landscape of the data ecosystem.
