ATLANTA, GA—Powered by BDPA’s Columbus (OH) Chapter, Cardinal Health sponsored a very timely Data Science plenary session and panel entitled: “From Nicety to Necessity: The Datafication of Modern Industries.”
Data has transitioned from an enhancement to the backbone of innovation. Our panel discussion during BDPACON24 explored how diverse industries harness the power of datafication to drive strategic decision-making and #transformative outcomes. Whether we were looking to understand the practical implications of datafication or seeking to leverage new insights to better understand how to position ourselves for tomorrow’s careers; this session provided invaluable perspectives on making data a necessity so that we can stay competitive in today’s fast-paced markets.
