This webinar tackles a critical challenge in data project management: building and maintaining stakeholder trust. Drawing from three decades of technology industry experience, we'll explore five key factors that significantly impact data trust within organizations: 

1. Defining needs clearly 
2. Aligning resources effectively 
3. Managing deadlines pragmatically 
4. Treating data as a strategic asset 
5. Fostering two-way learning between business and data teams 

We'll examine these concepts through a real-world example, demonstrating how easily these principles can be overlooked in practice. By understanding these factors and their implementation challenges, you'll gain valuable insights to enhance stakeholder engagement and create a culture of trust around your data initiatives.

• Leaders of Data Initiatives 
• Data Stewards, Business Stakeholders 
• Program, Project, Product Managers
