Data teams can add tremendous value - but many struggle to prove it. The result? Layoffs, budget cuts, and strategic work being handed to external consultancies while data teams fight for recognition and resources. Join Nick Zervoudis, Data Product Management Consultant and Coach at Data from Value & AI, for a hands-on 90-minute workshop that will give you practical tools to quantify and communicate the financial impact of your data work. Drawing from his acclaimed course (“ROI of Data & AI”), Nick will guide you through exercises to:

• Understand recent macroeconomic changes that necessitate a change in approach for how data teams engage with their stakeholders.
• Apply structured frameworks to connect data initiatives with measurable business outcomes.
• Put £££ against your projects to demonstrate ROI and build credibility with stakeholders.

You’ll walk away with tactics you can use immediately to elevate your data team’s impact - and be seen as a strategic partner rather than a service desk.
