About This Webinar

This session — featuring Bill Sheehan, Global Head of Association Strategy at D2L, and Alex Mouw, Principal Strategic Advisor at Amazon Web Services — will examine the urgency of becoming a data-driven organization, articulate the real cost of inaction, and outline practical approaches for success.

Participants will explore:

  • Leadership and culture: Why data strategy must start at the top and how senior leaders and CEOs can set the vision and reinforce a culture of evidence-based decision making. A strong culture transforms data from a technical artifact into a strategic asset embedded in everyday conversations.

  • Supporting technology adoption: How to create organizational readiness, break down silos, and empower teams with the tools and skills necessary to leverage data effectively — not just collect it.

  • Project breakdown for success: Approaches to structuring data initiatives so they deliver early wins and build momentum, including prioritizing outcomes that align with strategic goals and mission impact.

  • Outcome-based strategies: How to define success metrics tied to real organizational outcomes, reinforce continuous learning, and drive measurable value.

Attendees will leave with actionable guidance to accelerate their data strategy, strengthen decision-making, and create measurable value across their organizations.
