The revolution of data science and AI has created an incredible workforce of talented data professionals. Many companies invested in the roll-out of (big) data platforms to add value to their business. Incredible solutions were built that changed even entire industries. Unfortunately, many implementations stopped delivering value after a while or did not deliver any value at all.

But how can you do better? How can you create sustainable value from your data investments?

We get an answer to these questions from Eric Weber, Head of Data Product and Experimentation at Yelp. Eric will discuss why getting ROI out of a data investment requires thinking about data as a product. In data product thinking, every data solution is considered as a product with its own data product manager, lifecycle, technological foundations etc. Managing your data products the right way makes your data investments sustainable.
