Apprenticeships in Data: Bentley Motors' vision for the future

Episode 15

Wednesday, June 19, 2024 • Duration 48:54

Getting Ahead of the Curve: How Bentley Motors Uses Apprenticeships to Develop Future Data Talent and Stay Competitive

How can companies best prepare for the data skills needed in the future? Today I speak to two members of Bentley Motors data team: Andy Moore, Chief Data Officer, and Niamh Frogley, a data science apprentice. At Bentley Motors, they took a forward thinking approach by creating an apprenticeship program to develop a data talent pipeline. By researching what future skills they would need to hire for, they identified roles like data scientists before the job descriptions even existed. Bentley then created degree apprenticeships to cultivate homegrown talent.

Now with a cohort of apprentices at different experience levels, including some earning degrees, Bentley has fresh perspectives entering the business regularly. The apprentices also gain years of hands-on work experience alongside qualifications. This win-win scenario allows Bentley to stay ahead of changing industry needs and have leaders primed for new opportunities. By maximising their apprenticeship program and commitment to diverse views, Bentley has found an effective way to both benefit their organisation long-term and support the careers of their future data leaders.

Unlocking the true potential of AI within your business by prioritising data governance, with Andrew Sharp

Episode 11

Wednesday, April 24, 2024 • Duration 46:28

How can organisations ensure their AI initiatives are built on strong foundations to deliver results? According to Andrew Sharp, Principal Consultant of Data Governance and Data Protection at The Oakland Group, having robust data governance practices in place is crucial for success with AI.

Andrew notes that AI is only as good as the data it's trained on, emphasising that organisations need to focus on data quality and management to truly unlock the power of AI. Through his work with clients across industries, Andrew has seen first-hand how prioritising data governance lays the groundwork for AI to perform at its best. With the right people, processes and tools in place, AI can be seamlessly integrated into a company's operations and decision-making. But it all starts with the data - is it fit for purpose and being looked after properly? Only then can AI realise its full potential.

From council estate to prominent data leader - Dawn Carter’s masterclass in ‘The School of Life’

Episode 10

Wednesday, April 17, 2024 • Duration 57:15

How hard could it be to break into data? Dawn Carter, Enterprise Data Architect at BAE Systems, had never imagined a career in the field would be possible, starting her career in a call centre rather than studying analytics in university. She became curious about whether data was something she could do when asked to help implement a new system. This led her on a journey of questioning how things worked and continually taking on new challenges.

When doubts of imposter syndrome crept in after transitioning to data roles, she wondered how difficult pursuing opportunities truly could be. So when a conference in California presented itself, she decided to submit a speaking proposal without telling anyone, thinking there was little chance she'd hear back. To her surprise, they asked her to turn it into a full day workshop instead. This spurred her on to share her experiences overcoming perceived limits by asking questions without fear of being wrong, helping others see what may be within reach through perseverance.
