During the four episodes of our webinar series, the experts from Futurice will guide you through the necessary steps of becoming more data-driven. You will learn how to create a data-driven business model and clarify your value proposition, as well as find ways to execute a cultural transformation in your organization and setting up the correct technological infrastructure. By watching the series, you should be able to start, or continue, your journey towards becoming a data-driven company.

The episodes are all under 30 minutes long and you can even listen to the episodes as podcasts!
