DAM: Entrepreneurship as a possibility for Data Analysts

Registration required!

Data Analysts aren’t just number crunchers - they’re natural innovators. This presentation reframes entrepreneurship as a mindset - something you can apply inside any organization, not just in startups. You’ll discover why your analytical skills give you a natural advantage in spotting opportunities others miss. The talk highlights traits that set entrepreneurial analysts apart, from curiosity to adaptability. Real-world success stories show how data professionals have turned insights into breakthroughs. You’ll gain inspiration to approach your work with fresh energy and vision. Instead of theory, the focus is on practical steps you can actually take. It’s not about leaving your job - it’s about amplifying your impact where you are. The session will shift how you see your role, your skills, and your future. Above all, it’s a call to harness your data expertise to create real value and change.
