So often people attend conferences, take loads of notes and then forget about them when they get back to the office. BAU takes over. A lot of value from the event gets lost because other priorities take over. Delegates are not alone…this often happens to me too.
In an effort to combat this I had our post-event survey modified to include the following question:
“What was the one big takeaway you got from the event?”
The motivation behind this was to get each delegate to deliberately think about the one thing they got from the event that will make a difference to their data analytics efforts. The survey is sent out a few days after the event so delegates need to reflect on the sessions and discussions.
In no particular order…
The Top 10 Takeaways from CAO Africa 2016:
I think these 10 takeaways are a good reflection of the maturity of the South African analytics environment – there are people leading the charge but a lot of work needs to be done to make it a ‘go-to’ in business.
I’d like to thank all those who attended CAO Africa 2016 either as a delegate, speaker or sponsor. The contributions made by everyone during the presentations and discussion groups help drive the role forward. It’s important that a community is developed where best practice can be shared and ideas created by peers.
