A small-group masterclass that will make your life easier and your stakeholders love you 😍
(COMING SOON!)
I’ve spent 17 years building data teams and advising Founders, CEOs, and CTOs in consumer internet companies.
During this time, so many executives complained to me about the inability of their data teams to create business impact.
It breaks my heart to see so many data teams suffer because Founders have given up on them. 💔
If you want your CEO to love you and not try to get rid of you, then this masterclass is for you.
You may experience one or more of the following pain points:
The masterclass is designed to guide you towards the "Promised Land of Data Analytics", make your stakeholders love you and live a stress-free life as a data professional
At the end of the masterclass, you will understand the most important levers for stakeholder adoption and you will have a clear action plan on how to get to the promised land of data analytics.
Learn how your peers are tackling the challenges that you are facing and push each other to the next level. A small group of 10 people max will provide enough room for exchange.
5 Weeks. 5 modules. 2 sessions each. 2 Guest Speakers.
Each module will include homework so that you can implement everything you learned right away.
We will have high profile guest speakers who share real-life lessons how they created business impact with their data teams in well-known consumer internet scale-ups.
Over 17 years, I've built data teams and data infrastructure for 40+ leading consumer companies across the globe. This course condenses all the frameworks that I have crafted and improved over time.
Session Outcome: Data Teams need to balance Control and Agility. We establish where you stand and where you should go from here.
Session Outcome: You have your Business Use Cases defined and prioritized in a KPI / Dimension Map
Session Outcome: You have translated your business use cases into a data model, decided your ETL strategy and you know which software engineering best practices to use when (testing, environment separation, version control, data contracts). If you have that already, we review it.
Tim is the Rockstar among the Data Leaders. As the former VP Data of FreeNow, Tim scaled the data team from 15 to 100 people and knows everything about creating business impact in fast growing consumer companies.
Session Outcome: You know how to balance the roles & responsibilities of the data team vs data consumers vs data producers given the stage of your business. We identify roles and responsibilities that are missing, too much, ill-defined, or wrongly allocated.
Session Outcome: You know how to build data products that get massive stakeholder adoption. You can map business goals to services to data products to data product components.
There will be two secret speakers, both with tons of experience in creating business impact with data & AI and making CEOs happy. This would be boring without surprises, wouldn't it? 🎁
