For decades organizations have invested millions of dollars in gathering data but have little to show for it because they don't know how to make use of it. Data is a powerful resource but will be wasted if the organization does not have people across departments who can turn data into insight. A Citizen Data Scientist Program is a proven strategy to bridge the talent gap by training existing team members and spreading knowledge across the organization. Matthew shares interesting and practical methods for how to implement a citizen program in your organization.

Is your organization bogged down with mundane tasks that must be done, but don't create compelling value for customers?

In your organization, thousands of automation opportunities are worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in value, if you could just find the key to unlock them. Matthew will share a proven strategy for how to launch and sustain a Citizen Automation Specialist Program in your organization that will: 

•  Amplify current business-side efforts 
•  Relieve overloaded IT backlogs 
•  Simplify and speed up the implementation of automation projects  
•  Intelligently manage financial returns

Digital Superpowers are abilities that allow business users to achieve goals that were once impossible, or at least very difficult, to accomplish without the help of traditional IT resources. These abilities can be used for a variety of purposes:

• Adapting to shifting market conditions
• Increasing personal and team productivity
• Mastering new information 
• Sharing ideas and knowledge 
• Outmaneuvering competition  

Digital Superpowers can be found in a variety of online tools and applications, as well as in the way we use these tools. For example, the ability to search for information quickly and easily is a digital superpower. So is the ability to connect with others instantly through social media or video conferencing.  As we become more reliant on technology, our digital superpowers will continue to grow. It is important to learn how to use these abilities effectively so that we can make the most of them.
