Data and Analytics is capable of greatly advancing the decision making processes of enterprises globally, and is increasingly on the agenda of organisations in Australia and New Zealand.

Through a representative survey of 159 Australia & New Zealand data and analytics executives, we benchmark the industry’s progress and gauge to what extent data and analytics is making an impact in the region, and understand data leader sentiment around certain data-related themes.

This report covers the roles of data leaders in organisations, the perceived maturity of their data strategies, adoption of data technologies, challenges in implementing data strategies, and future expectations in the data and analytics field.
