It's a really, really big, ambitious, big, hairy goal that we're aiming for. It can't be done by one person or one company. It's got to be done by all of us pulling together.""People think it's a passing fad. It doesn't affect me. It affects the data team. I'm seeing a split in the industry as well. And especially within government, I'm seeing them becoming inward focused.""We live in this attitude of scarcity, that there's not enough to go around, therefore I've got to keep hold of my little pile. And I think that's the main thing hurting the adoption of some of these data-driven initiatives."Chapters00:00 Introduction of Martin Paver and Projecting Success07:13 The Need for Collaboration in Data-Driven Project Delivery13:08 Challenges in Implementing Data-Driven Project Delivery23:47 Falling Short of the Mission and the Role of the Coalition34:54 The Future of Data-Driven Project DeliveryLinksMartin Paver Linked In - https://www.linkedin.com/in/martinpaver/Projecting Success - https://projectingsuccess.co.uk/Project Data Analytics Coalition - https://www.pdataskforce.com/about-1Support the showSubscribe to the Project Flux Newsletter!All our podcasts commentate on the weeks hottest news brought to you by the Project Flux Newsletter! Get a step ahead on the world of AI and tech, subscribe and get the weekly newsletter to your inbox every Monday!Sign Up to Newsletter Project Flux is independently owned, funded, and operated by its founder.
