What a User-Centric Data Map Looks Like

Why do 80% of data projects fail? This shocking statistic from Gartner highlights a critical issue that impacts businesses worldwide—but what’s causing it, and how can you fix it?

In this episode, I show you how to identify hidden barriers in data management and introduce actionable strategies to ensure your projects deliver real business value. You’ll learn why technology and team skills alone aren’t enough and discover the missing piece to create harmony between data systems and business context.

Why does this matter? Failed data initiatives cost time, money, and opportunities. Whether you work in retail, healthcare, manufacturing, or any industry driven by insights, understanding how to align data with business meaning is pivotal to making informed decisions and achieving your goals.

I share real-world scenarios, including how a retailer’s customer data platform and a healthcare provider’s data warehouse missed the mark—and what they could’ve done differently. Plus, I reveal powerful frameworks like the data journey map and the data decoder framework, designed to simplify complex systems and improve collaboration between technical and business teams.

Stay tuned—this is one episode you don’t want to miss if you’re ready to transform failed data projects into successful, data-driven strategies.
