Episode Summary
In this episode of The Data Standard, host Darren Kaplan talks about the importance of adapting in tech as known best practices become obsolete with Ryan Deeds, VP of Data at Assurex Global.
Nowadays, almost every vertical depends on data. It is used to fuel business decisions and forecasts. However, data practices are not the same as they were just ten years ago. Knowing when to discard the proven methods and risks and adopt new ones is a great skill and comes from years of experience.
It especially applies to sub-niches within an industry. Technology-driven progress is so rapid that you will probably end up without work if you dont move fast. The ability to learn, respond, and adapt to changes, particularly in the data field, is vital for success.
The questions that follow are How to tell when you need to adopt? Should you move to another industry to get a better standing? How do you know that youve hit the sweet spot?.
If you want to find the answers to these questions and find out what it took our guest to go from an IT help-desk guy to a VP of Data at a global insurance company, tune in with Darren Kaplan and Ryan Deeds.
