Data Quality: Prevention Is Better Than the Cure

Many of us spend a lot of our time dealing with poor quality data, and any solution we put in place tends to be reactive or yet another workaround implemented in an increasingly complex data pipeline. But this is proving ineffective and expensive, and preventing organisations from realising the value of their data, when that's becoming more important than ever.

Join us for an insightful session where we tackle the root causes of data quality issues and explore proactive strategies to prevent them.

About the Speaker: Andrew Jones is a Principal Engineer, esteemed author, and recognised Google Developer Expert. He thinks a lot about how to build platforms—particularly data platforms—that drive the creation of business value. His work on building performant, efficient, and well-governed data platforms that facilitate the production and consumption of quality data led him to coin and define "data contracts." In 2023, he authored the seminal book on the topic.

In this meetup, Andrew will discuss:

• The common challenges of poor data quality and its impact on your organisation.
• Why reactive solutions and workarounds are proving ineffective and costly.
• Proactive approaches to data quality that can help you realise the full value of your data.
• Practical tips and best practices for implementing effective data quality measures.

Don't miss this opportunity to learn from Andrew's extensive experience and gain valuable insights into making data more accessible and actionable. Join us and take the first step towards a more efficient and effective data strategy!
