Gordon Wong and I chat about why most data teams aren't that valuable, and ways data teams can deliver more value.

Imagine you're dropped into the middle of a failed data project - no data team, no documentation, and other horrific things - and have to figure out a way to make it work. What would you do?

Gordon Wong and I chat about various aspects of how we'd handle this scenario.

Gordon Wong has led data teams of all sizes, across many well-known companies. I consider him a Yoda in the data field, and this is a glimpse into the monthly chats that Gordon and I have. Unfiltered and uncut. Enjoy.

Please note - we had to cut it a bit short, as Gordon had another call at the top of the call. Again, this is literally a look at a normal chat that Gordon and I engage in.
