In Episode 19 of Driven by Data: The Podcast, Kyle Winterbottom is joined by Simon Hayter, Partner & Group Head of Data at Knight Frank, where they discuss some of the major problems the Data & Analytics industry is currently facing.

- Why most organisations put "big-tech" companies on a pedestal
- Why you should view data as you do money
- That the grass isn't always greener
- Why you'll never have a finished product
- How the lines have become blurred in regards to skill-sets
- Why the same person can't own Analytics & Compliance
- The need to bring data literacy to all academic subjects
- Why "data courses" are setting up the future generations for failure
