Today's Learning Hub Highlight:
Do Boards Value Data Functions? 

Following on from last week's theme around being an effective non-exec, this week we are exploring how NEDs and Boards view, interact with, and value data functions.

This relationship has changed a lot over recent years and continues to evolve rapidly. 
Series 2 of The Data Files Podcast spoke with 4 senior execs and board members about how they view role of the data function in modern businesses, and how to get the best out of the relationship between data and business leadership.
