Successful businesses have strong leaders. These leaders can get the best out of their people by inspiring a culture of rapid and continuous innovation and collaboration. They are also able to translate critical insights into business value because they are able to make decisions that drive the business forward.
These decisions are increasingly data led, but raw data on its own cannot enable the analytical and predictive power that leaders need to drive impact and growth. The pure volume of data that is generated by businesses every day means that it needs to be collected, classified, handled, stored and processed accurately and securely to extract its value.

Businesses are sitting on a gold mine in the vast quantities of data in their organisations, yet most are not yet taking full advantage of the power of artificial intelligence, machine learning and cloud technologies to turn these data repositories into real value.
In this episode of the podcast (watch it or listen to it below), TechCentral interviews Microsoft South Africa Enterprise and Cloud Business Group lead Johannes “JK” Kanis on how modern technologies can help companies use their data to gain real business insights.
In the podcast, Kanis talks about the potential upside for businesses that can get this right – how they can take advantage of modern AI tools to get to grips with their data and start to turn it into something of significant value.
Building a company culture that drives value through data
The link between a robust, connected company culture and business success is no secret – 92% of business leaders say that improving company culture would increase company value. Its worth has become even more widely recognised since the move to a remote or hybrid work environment, with more than a third of South African business leaders admitting to battling with creating a strong and unified team culture.
Culture is the glue that holds companies together. It requires several key ingredients to be successful: clearly defined and communicated core values, solid and supportive leadership, the spirit of collaboration and the tools that enable this connection even remotely.
