Leading in the digital age with a real-time data-driven culture
by New Relic
Most companies would argue that they make data-driven decisions at all levels all the time. However, in a digital world where most interactions, transactions and systems now depend on software and take place in real-time, leadership needs to adapt to a true ‘real-time’ data-driven culture.
Collecting real-time performance data of their software, systems, business and customer experience, and turning it instantly into actionable insights, is a key success enabler for digital winners. Sharing this ‘one-truth’ data is also key to driving new levels of team collaboration and accountability.
In this roundtable, Gregory Ouillon, CTO at New Relic, will share best practices from digital winners that leverage an effective software observability strategy that helps them perform, innovate faster and delight customers.
