#178 – Monetising the Value of Data

This week, Chris has a great conversation with Bill Schmarzo, Chief Innovation Officer at Hitachi Vantara. Bill maintains a consultancy practice within Hitachi that helps customers build processes and identify data that can be used to create business value within an organisation. In this discussion, Bill outlines the process for identifying opportunities, capturing the data and building governance around translating data into income.

Aside from the insights in how businesses can generate new revenue streams from the data in their organisation, this podcast highlights the challenges of determining which data to keep and discard, while attributing value to data being protected. We assume all data needs to be protected equally, but perhaps there needs to be an alignment between data management and data value.

Bill has three books in print with a fourth (The Economics of Data Analytics and Digital Transformation) expected in November 2020. During the podcast, Bill references the Prioritisation Matrix. This blog post provides more information on the concept and process (explaining what we couldn’t visualise on an audio podcast).

You can catch up with Bill on LinkedIn and Twitter. Here’s a link to Bill’s second book, The Big Data MBA, referenced at the end of the podcast.
