The PPDM Association Education Advisory Committee (PEAC) is launching a new podcast, Three Data Wise Guys + One. The first episode in this five-part series delivers hard-hitting conversations on Why Data Management Still Matters and has our wise guys sparring over what this means for the organization, what kind of data we’re talking about, and the dreaded silos. During a time when companies are reducing data professional teams and opting for the next shiny new platforms to replace people, data issues continue to plague our business. As George Santayana quoted, “Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” Join the three data wise guys in this must-hear series to learn more about modern myths, the role of digital technology, and the unfashionable truths.
