“Smart with data.” Everyone is talking about it, but how do you do it? That’s simple, according to Richard Verburg (founder of Beeminds):

“Every organization is unique, but then again it’s not. When organizations get serious about data and want to organize it in a sustainable way, many common challenges in data management and data governance surface. Also, for example, the KPIs that organizations in the same sector focus on are often the same. So there is no need to reinvent the wheel! That is exactly what Beeminds is responding to.
Richard shared his experiences & practical examples on how organizations can learn from each other and get more value from data during a round-table session organized by Tendria in Amsterdam.
