Why the Digital World Needs Operations

Operations is the often-overlooked hero of profitable growth. Antonia Landi and Elizabeth Press (myself) connected over the insight that operational excellence is the key to business success, be it in product, data, on the factory floor or the newsroom. Even creative agencies have processes. Ops and processes will become a passport to play, as legislators catch up with technology (NIS2, DORA as examples) and ISO 27001 becomes a standard business hygiene in many industries.

Tackling machine learning enemy #1, poor data quality –  an interview with Sahar Changuel, PhD

Data quality is a business problem, as well as a tech problem. It is the biggest enemy of data-driven business and machine learning. Bad quality data can block or render a data project or machine learning use case unusable and thus a waste of money, human resources and time. Tackling data quality needs to be a targeted, systemic and ongoing, rather than a huge, one time cathartic event.

Operational KPIs that will let you know your Data Team is creating impact (rather fixing & firefighting)

Data teams are usually busy, but are they impactful? Just because your data team is burning through tickets does not mean that they are creating impact, especially if they are stuck fixing and firefighting. Impact can be broken down into prioritization, coverage and quality. KPIs such as the statistical re-do rate, analytical throughput rate and effective analytical throughput rate that will help you quantify the impact of your data organization. This framework, along with external validation from stakeholders, is helpful to root cause and make business cases to invest in improvements.
