DATA SECRETS Podcast: The Missing Skill in Analytics

In this episode of the DATA SECRETS Podcast, Nadiem von Heydebrand joined Nathan Settembrini to unpack why analytics teams often struggle to prove their value, and what it takes to change that.

Drawing on real-world examples from startups and large enterprises, Nadiem explains how data product management helps shift the focus from dashboards and reports to outcomes that actually matter to the business. The discussion covers topics such as organising data teams for impact, avoiding wasted analytics efforts, choosing the right success metrics, and navigating the growing influence of AI and governance.

The episode offers practical insights for data leaders, product managers, and executives looking to connect data work more directly to customer value and business results.
