From Reports to Returns: A Practical Route Up the Data Maturity Curve

About this event

This session maps a practical five-stage progression from fragmented data through reports to predictive capability.

James Ridgway (CTO, The Curve) and Ryan Jamieson (MD UK, Calybre) work through the specific, unglamorous work required to move one business domain—such as customer or finance data—from its current stage to the next. They explain why moving up the curve is a targeted decision about specific outcomes, not an organisation-wide overhaul.

Attendees will understand what each stage of maturity actually demands, why many mid-sized organisations get stuck at the 'Reported' stage, and how to avoid the two most expensive instincts: spending years on foundations before building anything, or assuming AI or new platforms will bypass underlying data problems. No technical background required.
