Episode 10 - Aligning Data with Strategy to Drive Smarter Business Decisions

In this week’s episode, Pamela Moodley joins us to share her journey from a Big 4 firm to modern consulting firm Slalom, along with her perspective on how data and AI are becoming increasingly embedded in business strategy. She also reflects on the role an external partner can play in supporting this shift. We explore the challenges organisations face in translating technical capability into measurable outcomes, the importance of pragmatic governance, and how engaging a consulting partner at any stage of the journey can help build internal capability over time. Pamela emphasises the need to align technology investment with business goals, the strategic value of pilot projects, and we touch on how AI is reshaping decision-making across industries. This episode is full of practical insights for data professionals and business leaders looking to drive real impact, improve alignment, and navigate the rapidly evolving world of enterprise technology.
