The Road to an MBA: Episode 3 – Simulating Strategy

About our People, Career Development, The Road to an MBA / By

Welcome back to “The Road to an MBA” and what a ride it’s been. In this episode, I want to share my experience of the most intense module yet: Strategic Advantage. Unlike previous modules, this one dropped us into the driver’s seat of a virtual business and asked us to navigate real-time strategic decisions as the executive board of a fictional sneaker company. Let’s just say, we learned the difference between theory and practice very quickly. The Simulation: Fast-Paced, High Stakes, and Surprisingly Real The Edumundo simulation was a team-based business game where we ran a sneaker brand, making decisions […]

The Golden Record: Discovering the Heartbeat of Your Data 

Data Strategy / By

Not all data is equal. Some records are dormant, others are alive with activity, pulsing through your business, driving sales, shaping operations. But without visibility, how do you know which is which?  That’s where the Golden Record comes in. It’s not just about data quality, it’s about identifying the most active, most impactful version of a record. It shows you where your business is truly moving.  What Is a Golden Record?  At its core, the Golden Record is the single, most relevant version of any business entity, be it a customer, product, supplier, or asset. It’s derived not just from

From Laggard to Leader: Why Now Is Construction’s Moment for Smarter Data 

Industry Insights / By

This May, Cloud Perspective, in partnership with Informatica, sponsored and participated in UK Construction Week in London. As first-time attendees, we were excited to contribute to a sector that’s on the cusp of major digital transformation. In fact, construction may be entering digitalisation at the perfect time, able to learn from the mistakes of other industries and adopt modern, proven data strategies without the baggage. While other sectors are still wrestling with siloed systems and GenAI hype, construction has the chance to leapfrog ahead, leveraging integrated data platforms and even exploring agentic AI to automate complex workflows, from compliance and
