Both digital and traditional businesses are constantly evolving, and the need to move fast is a pervasive reality. Delivering what customers want and need goes beyond the creation of delivery channels. In fact, it relies on the company’s ability to produce, consume, organise, understand, curate, and distribute data. In this presentation, Dan Aragao and Simon Hope provide a glimpse of the journey ThoughtWorks and REA are currently undergoing to create a truly data-centric, cutting-edge digital business.
