Data Skills 2024: What Financial Firms Need To Know

By

Today, data is the key to decision-making, modernization, and competitive customer experiences. But without the right people to make sense of it all, this data can become increasingly fragmented and inaccessible ¡ª while valuable opportunities slip into the rearview mirror.

¡°Data is only an asset when you have the right people in place who know how to use the data and democratize it across the business. That¡¯s where we see opportunity meet impact.¡± 
– Angela Brennan, Global Lead Solutions Architect at 足球竞彩网 Assembly 

But where will you find the right data-savvy talent? In some cases, the answer is: within your own organization. As AI-driven tech makes roles like recordkeepers, data entry clerks, underwriters, and auditors redundant, upskilling and reskilling talent to data-adjacent roles is one powerful strategy for upleveling your capabilities, while preserving your company¡¯s internal wellspring of knowledge and morale. 

That said, not every job opening can be filled internally. As new data roles emerge, you¡¯ll need dependable pipelines for net-new talent that meets the evolving skill sets ¡ª and use case requirements ¡ª of the data tasks at hand.

To make these pivots quickly and effectively, you¡¯ll need a clearer understanding of data¡¯s growing role in the finance sector and the solutions that exist.
