In this episode of the DATA SECRETS Podcast, we sit down with Nadiem von Heydebrand, CEO and co-founder of Mindfuel, to uncover the real secrets behind creating business impact with data and analytics.
Nadiem shares why data teams struggle to demonstrate their value, drawing on stories from consulting and startup life... including why 1,900 out of 2,000 dashboards at one client were simply unnecessary. We discuss:
- The difference between “output” and true business “outcome” in analytics
- How data product management transforms tech output into customer-centric results
- Why most organizations don’t generate (or properly use) their own data early on
- The hidden dangers in data processes, like the paint shop model ruined by overlooked temperature data
- How to build and structure a data team for maximum business value, whether centralized or distributed
- What makes customer satisfaction the most universal KPI, and why click rates are losing relevance
- How AI and data governance are reshaping enterprise priorities
From startup pivots to insurance risk modeling to KPI horror stories, Nadiem’s insights reveal how leaders must link every data asset to a real business impact... or risk getting lost in a forest of unused dashboards.
If you want to know how data teams, product managers, and business leaders can finally crack the value code, this conversation is a must-listen.
