Hi community

Last month we took part in the DAMA Day Prague in the Czech Republic for a full day of presentations, inspiring talks and discussions. It was great to meet some of our members in person and have in real life conversations! 

In this post, I want to share some highlights from the day as well as a sneak peek into what’s coming into Ataccama soon... 
 

Ataccama CTO Roman Kucera talked about Large Language Models with Enterprise Data, changing the way we retrieve information focused on Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), and the role of AI Agents. If you’d like to hear more about AI Agents - save your spot for FWRD 2024, our annual conference.
 

One of the earlier talks was on Data Management challenges within organizations by David Jez, CDO titled “Importance of Company Culture in Data Management Program Adoption”. In Ataccama, this is something we frequently speak with our users so I wanted to bring the six points David touched upon and ask for your thoughts. The six risks mentioned are as follows:

1. Resistance to change and user adoption
2. Lack of data literacy
3. Siloed teams and data ownership
4. Leadership buy-in and support
5. Over-reliance on the data team
6. Fear of job redundancy or role changes

If you see any of these risks or risk symptoms in your organizations, how do you mitigate it?

What are some challenges or best practices did you put in place that can set a good example for any organization that might be going through changes at the moment? Let us know in the comments

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
