Eat. Mingle. Make new friends.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth: companies are sprinting toward AI without a handle on the fundamentals.

Data sits at the heart of everything in business. You can gauge how mature a company is just by examining the quality of data generated throughout their daily processes. Who’s responsible for updating a prospect’s sales status? Who ensures a new lead gets entered into the CRM with complete information—First & Last Name, Address, Date of Birth, Email, and Budget? You’d be surprised how few companies consistently do this well.

These companies try to build AI and predictive models on top of sales data that’s missing emails, budget values, and locations. As much as you want to use this data to find more customers, you can’t—because the historical information simply isn’t complete.

In this TIGER Talk, Christian Steinert reveals how to sell and then operate a data team that improves a company’s bottom line. Drawing from years in the trenches implementing data solutions across multiple industries—from manufacturing and commercial real estate to fintech, telehealth, and fast food—Christian will share real data war stories: what works, what fails, and what creates a healthy balance of ROI-producing data products paired with data quality and minimized technical debt.

You’ll learn:

  • How to pitch data as an ROI-driven solution in the enterprise
  • How to manage a data team that keeps data quality, ROI, and strategic partnership at the forefront
  • Where to start (hint: follow the money), how to pitch the vision, and how to operate a data team that earns executive buy-in—delivering ROI in months, not years

Attendees will leave with an actionable roadmap and high-level steps for ensuring a successful data transformation. The roadmap template will be available for download to all attendees.
