📢“Data will not tell you anything if you don't ask questions”

In this episode, we hear Richard Pharro, CEO of APMG International, talk to Giovanni Lanzani, Digital Specialist and Leader of the GoDataDriven Academy, about where the value really lies in using data. 

 Listen in as we talk about the challenges businesses face when becoming data-driven,  the development process, the importance of infrastructure, and how for Giovanni, forecasting with AI is the only financially smart future. 

 Those who make the switch to AI will outcompete the rest.

 We ask Giovanni about the changing environment data analytics is creating, and how younger generations can prepare for this. Before dissecting the common problem that unifies all companies when working with data, because if you don’t ask the right questions “Data will not tell you anything”.

 Giovanni then speaks to us about the security issues surrounding Data and the urgent universal need to find new ways of solving problems. He believes the industry needs people who couple curiosity with a scientific approach: digital skills alone aren’t enough. 

We finish the episode by asking Giovanni 3 things he knows now, that he wish he knew when starting his career -  his answer?
