Building a Global Data Community

Summary

When former Network Rail Chief Data Officer, Caroline Carruthers, approached TUVA to support the promotion of her new book, the agency identified an opportunity to elevate the story.

Brief

TUVA worked with the client to develop a series of storylines – topics like skills and recruitment, privacy, fear of data and enablement - that would help to elevate the programme beyond promoting a series of initiatives in isolation, and instead position Carruthers & Jackson as championing the cause for a whole new generation of executives with the power to enable their businesses through data.

"The team at Tuva has been exceptional at aligning to our priorities and driving our desired outcomes. They do this with real credibility, building an authentic partnership so they really do feel an extension of our team (because they are now!); this drives honest conversations and ultimately results."

- Adam Smith, Head of Marketing, Carruthers and Jackson

What We Did

How businesses manage and use data is the difference between success or failure. Step forward Caroline Carruthers, one of the first of a new generation of executives responsible for shaping data strategy: the Chief Data Officer (CDO). Caroline tasked TUVA to raise the profile of her new consultancy, Carruthers & Jackson, and drive attendance to a series of events created exclusively for the CDO.
Building a Global Data Community

Carruthers and Jackson has grown the world's largest community of data leaders.

Results

Three years into the partnership with TUVA, Carruthers and Jackson has grown to become arguably the world’s premier data consultancy with a community of data leaders and CDOs in its thousands. Caroline has featured on the BBC’s Today Programme and Tech Tent to discuss breaking data issues, in addition to being a regular commentator for national papers and tech trades. The Chief Data Officer Summer School has become the number one course of its kind in the world with around 500 students every year.
