#243 Mastering DataOps and MLOps: Building a Strong Foundation for Success and Future Growth

<p>At Data Futurology’s OpsWorld conference in March, a panel of experts came together to discuss the importance of getting measurements, processes and methodologies right to drive DataOps and MLOps across the organisation.</p> <p>The panel consisted of Katherine Fowler, Head of Business Transformation at L’Occitane Australia, Amar Poddatooru, Head of Data and Technology at Australian Ethical, and Emyr James, Head of Data at Resolution Life and moderating the discussion was Andrew Aho, Regional Director, Data Platforms at InterSystems. It became a far-reaching discussion that started with methods to define and measure the ROI of data and analytics initiatives and how to get those projects off the ground. The discussion moved on to overhyped technologies in the data space, and then looked forward to what is on the horizon for the years ahead.</p> <p>As the panel discussed, there is a lot of interest among consumers in some innovative technologies, including ChatGPT. This is in turn driving a lot of interest at the executive level at rolling out solutions that use these tools. However, without the right foundations in place, and without proper concern for the privacy and regulatory risks associated with these tools, they will cause the data team more headaches than they’re worth.</p> <p>This panel discussion is essential for understanding how to structure a foundation for data success, be disciplined in deploying the available resources across the data team, gain executive buy-in, and then steadily build the practice up.</p> <p>Enjoy the show! </p> <p>Thank you to our sponsor,<a href="https://talentinsights.com.au/"> Talent Insights Group</a>!</p> <p>Join us for our next events: Advancing AI and Data Engineering Sydney (5-7 September) and OpsWorld: Deploying Data &amp; ML Products (Melbourne, 24-25 October): <a href="https://www.datafuturology.com/events">https://www.datafuturology.com/events</a> </p> <p>Join our Slack Community:<a href="https://join.slack.com/t/datafuturologycircle/shared_invite/zt-z19cq4eq-ET6O49
