#221 Building A Data & Change Management Strategy to Enable Smarter Data Sharing and Innovation in Queensland

<p>This week on the Data Futurology podcast we are thrilled to welcome Tamara Mirkovic. Mirkovic is a specialist in data platforms, AI, machine learning and predictive analytics, and was recently the recipient of the Women In Digital National Award.</p> <p>Mirkovic has experience building all-of-business data strategies and leading the change management program to get the organisation motivated behind the transformation.</p> <p>It’s not easy, as Mirkovic said. When individuals and teams are already capable with data within their own silos, adopting a new platform can raise concerns for everything from cybersecurity to job stability. Even with the support of a visionary leadership team driving efforts from the top down, the success of a change management program relies on finding the right people to act as the champion within the peer group.</p> <p>From there, it’s all about building a repeatable approach to the applications and models that will allow it to be rolled out to other teams across the organisation. “When you’ve got a critical mass of use cases, then everything going forward can be a version and iteration on what’s already been done,” Mirkovic said. “Our intention is to create enough patterns that can then be reused very quickly for other use cases.”</p> <p>Finally, Mirkovic discussed what it means to have won the Woman In Digital award, and the challenges and opportunities that face women in the sector in general.</p> <p>Tune in to hear these insights, and many (many) more from this wide-ranging and detailed interview!</p> <p>Please note: The opinions expressed by Mirkovic in this podcast are hers alone, and not a representation of the organisations she has worked for and mentions.</p> <p>Enjoy the show!</p> <p>Thank you to our sponsor,<a href="https://talentinsights.com.au/"> <u>Talent Insights Group</u></a>!</p> <p>Connect with Tamara: &nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/tamaramirkovic/"><u>https://www.linkedin.com/in/tamaramirkovic/</u></a></p> <p>To learn more about Women in Digital: <a href
