What is the Strategic Data Monetization Strategy course about?
Data leaders often face rejection or delays not because their ideas lack merit, but because they’re framed in technical or revenue terms that don’t resonate with board-level concerns around compliance, liability, and reputational risk. This creates a quiet bottleneck: valuable data sits underutilized, not due to lack of opportunity, but lack of alignment.
