Something SGE related I haven’t seen anyone talk about: the individual components that make up these results are all tagged within data attributes. Take a look yourself by loading up any SGE result that returns a paragraph, inspecting the element and searching for "SGEParagraphFeedback". I think this is cool for a few reasons: 1. We gain an understanding of what Google considers to be a distinct feature.  2. Scraping using these attributes should be subject to less change than random divs and spans. 3. We can use them to detect the presence of specific components within the results. 4. We can use their presence – or the presence of different combinations – to classify feature intent and how that contrasts with the vanilla results. You can find the 17 I’ve found listed below 👇 #seo #ai

Snowflake Cortex is now available to Snowflake customers, and you may have thought - yawn - another big software company has launched Generative AI capabilities. But this is actually a game-changer for marketers. With Snowflake's Cortex now in place, brands can use Google AI, Mistral AI, Meta AI, Snowflake's own Artic, and other leading generative AI products in a secure, efficient, and user-friendly way... #CDP #customerdataplatform #snowflake

tell me you're a data professional without telling me you're a data professional... when I build brio train tacks, I build them only using track pieces. Once it's up and running then I will swap out pieces of track for the fancy bits i.e a windmill. Foundations over fancy features for release 1.0. #dataleaders #dataprofessionals #dataleadership #cdo #dataanalytics

I have had the pleasure of being named in the Raconteur | B Corp™ 'Data Leaders 25' list with 24 mah00sive names. Amazing to be on the list but even cooler that it is a reflection of the amazing data transformations I have been a part of and have had the pleasure of leading. Over the last 3 years at Grainger we have been made huge strides to be more insight led and drive value from the data that underpins the business. A few highlights: - - We have around 40% accessing descriptive analytics on a monthly basis, way above industry standard (BARC study) for a company the size of ours (25%). - Huge increase in customer satisfaction metrics - Moved from descriptive to predictive analytics - Increased performance related to repairs and maintenance - Driving procurement efficiencies through supplier & spend analytics - Using Proptech and analytics to gain a deeper understanding of how our buildings and amenity spaces are used - Key DQ issues falling - Increasing data literacy One of our company values is "Leading the way", and fair to say, especially within the property/real estate sector, we are certainly living up to that. So shout out to the Insight team and all the stakeholders adding a bit more insight into your work life. #btr #btrnews #proptech #realestate #dataleaders #property #dataleadership #prs

In the first of a series of posts about planning a successful data migration project, I want to talk about the importance of a data analysis audit.    At Binary10, we like to say the devil is in the detail, because with data migration projects it pays dividends to be across the minutiae as early as possible.   Understanding the data quality, structure and gaps from the beginning is the foundation of a successful project.    And this allows the audit to be the source of truth for the data mapping exercise and producing the blueprint for the whole project.    It’s a critical step in the success of a project. It’s never overlooked, but in our experience, it’s often undertaken by generalists rather than specialists and this can cause problems further down the line.

Be it something as simple as sales and bookkeeping data or a larger and more sophisticated company with investments in quality, governance, MDM and predictive analytics. Maturity refers to a 'development' process. This is an investment in the talent, time, learning, organization, support, budget, infrastructure, and other things necessary. We're broadcasting live from the Match Data Pro page on LinkedIn on July 17th at 11am US Central time. Hope to see you there!

Why is data storytelling essential in the modern business world? Snippet from my interview with Raconteur on 'The power of data storytelling in modern business'. Storytelling is the foundation of effective data communication. You can put lots of hard work into data preparation, but if you can’t communicate your point effectively, that hard work has gone to waste. Often, the intended audience struggles to resonate with data because it is not conveyed properly. We call it data storytelling, which is really just a way of saying effective data communication. In our world, especially for data professionals, it’s more about story selling; everyone is a salesperson in data. You’re selling insights to the business. So, using data effectively is about selling the story back to the business to encourage an action. In any walk of life, communicating data effectively is important because time is money. We live in a society of instant gratification. People don’t have time to understand charts or decipher algorithms; they need actionable insights to make decisions as quickly as possible. Data storytelling bridges that gap, transforming complex information into compelling narratives that drive action. It’s not just about presenting numbers; it’s about making those numbers meaningful and relatable. When done right, data storytelling can change minds, inspire action, and ultimately drive success. Are you presenting charts or telling and selling stories? #DataStorytelling #datavisualisation #dataanalysis

Data literacy is the start, not the end. Data literacy has become the 'thing' recently, and for good reason. Companies have spent eye watering amounts of money building the data infrastructure and getting to grips with reporting, analytics. So now the question is, 'do the business know how to use the stuff we've given them'? Enter the data literacy programme. The future will go one step further. As hunger for disruptive technology increases exponentially, technical specialists will move closer to such disruptive tech as the market will naturally move this talent pool. Result - foundational expertise like Data Architecture will suffer an even bigger talent shortage problem than today. Solution - the end user will need to "self-architect" their data. They will need skills in running and maintaining 'the infrastructure', while tech/product teams drive the bottom line benefit for Boards and shareholders with the latest shiny toy. This in itself is going to require better Data Mgmt (incl. data architecture) tooling, but also better business-ready Data Management learning content targeted at the end-user, not the data professional. Lots to do. #dataliteracy #datamanagement #dataleadership

Great to see Qlik investing in GenAI. Self-serve data/analytics/bi has been the narrative for a while now, but skillset hurdles still exist. LLMs on top of data feels like the natural lowering of the bar. Combine increased speed and quality of output, alongside improved data literacy, and this could really be something. Looking forward to seeing the roadmap. #QlikAnswers #AI #GenAI #Qlik #data #bi #analytics #QlikLuminary

What Would Your Data Say? 📊🤔💡 This has been a genuine concern for multiple people I've talked to about Generative AI - that their data is 'not fit for purpose'. Should you really be living in fear of your data? 😨📉 Think of this in two ways - if you know that your data is bad and yet you're still making decisions from it, are you really making a data-driven decision? ❓🔍 But also, Generative AI has the power to surface issues you never knew were there by allowing an interrogation of your data on a scale not previously possible. So from a governance perspective, Generative AI tools can be a real help. 🧠🔎 You should be actively working to surface and fix issues with your data. Let it talk to you, and have a grown-up conversation!
