🌍 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆: 𝗨𝗦 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗨𝗞 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 In an increasingly connected world, understanding how different markets approach data-driven strategies is key to staying competitive. At the 2024 #DataIQ100 Summit in London, Randy Bean and David Reed explored how data-driven decision-making differs between the US and UK markets, focusing on the evolving roles and challenges in #data and #AI #leadership, covering the current landscape, future expectations, and the growing influence of AI. 📊 Key Takeaways: ▪️ The US tends to adopt a more aggressive stance on innovation and investment, prioritising speed and scale while the UK takes a more cautious approach, focusing on precision, compliance, and regulatory alignment. ▪️ US organisations view AI as a #transformative tool - adoption tends to focus on #innovation and long-term industry disruption. In the UK AI is often adopted cautiously, with a focus on incremental improvements like process efficiency and cost reduction rather than large-scale business transformation. ▪️ Both regions share a common goal: embedding AI responsibly to drive value and build trust. 🔗 Whether you're steering a startup or a large, global organisation, this article sheds light on actionable ways to adapt your data strategy to win in diverse markets.

At 13, working as a pot washer in a pub for £3 an hour, I barely said a word to anyone. Many of the staff mocked me for being “strange.” At 16, I was asked to leave my 2 week work experience at a nursery because I “didn’t engage enough.” From 15, I spent 3 years working in a cafe, only finding the comfort to talk with coworkers in my last year there. Another cafe job? I left after three weeks after being left to close on my own and getting so stressed. At 17, I quit a job in a clothes shop after 7 weeks, having been shouted at by a customer over a security tag and struggling to connect with anyone who worked there. At 19, I dropped out of a vacation scheme assessment centre because the stress of making conversation on the office tour became too much. I also ran out of my first law firm open day crying. As a teenager, it’s safe to say I didn’t see a corporate career in my future, if any career at all. I was so disappointed in myself and just wanted to be “better.” Looking back, I feel sad for that younger me, a literal child, and autistic, whether I knew it then or not. I was harsh on myself, but many people who were much older than me were too. I didn’t deserve that. No child does. It took years of building confidence, finding my voice, pushing through discomfort and learning to advocate for myself to believe I could achieve anything. I was rarely told I could. I came close to losing myself, trying to be “employable” and leave that “strange” little girl behind. But she was fine. She just needed to know she wasn’t broken, she needed a little support. Employers: be gentle with your teenage staff, apprentices and work experience students. You never know what they’re carrying and they’re still growing. Not everyone needs “toughening up.” They may just need some support and kindness. And to the many teenage students who message me feeling the same as I did, be patient with yourself. You don’t need to have everything figured out and please don’t break yourself trying to become someone you’re not. You can’t fix neurodivergence, but you can find supportive environments, learn your strengths and work with your brain. It feels like nothing will change at that age, but it will.
