As organizations struggle to build a data-driven culture, there is an often-underutilized secret weapon available. Who in the organization already “gets data”? Who in the organization knows the data quality secrets? Who in the organization knows where the data is hiding out? Who is privy to meetings that occur in silos across the organization and sees who is not talking to whom about the data?
