That’s a Data Problem: A New Splunk Podcast That Brings Data Innovation to Life

By Claire Hockin

A quarter-century of digital transformation has gotten us here: to the advent of the Data Age.

To thrive in this new age, every organization needs a complete view of its data — real-time insight, with the ability to take real-time action. The transformative potential of data to improve everything around us is something that organizations of all types should consider deeply, and it's a topic that deserves more attention.

And at Splunk we have many stories and insights into data... all the data! Which is why I’m really excited that we’ve launched a new podcast and video series to bring data innovation to life.

Covering everything from the future of organizational culture to accelerated cloud adoption, our new podcast and video series “That’s a Data Problem” features Splunk leaders and visionaries in conversation with Daniel Newman, Principal Analyst at Futurum Research, as they discuss how organizations are navigating this era of accelerating digital transformation and why data is essential for driving innovation.

The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the importance of business resiliency — today and in the future. Daniel and Splunk CEO, Doug Merritt, discuss how to build business resilience focusing on data strategies, people-first leadership and the importance of investing in employee enablement to be ready for a future of uncertainty.
