Ep 8. What It Really Takes to Build a Data-Centric Organization - The Data Playbook Podcast: Kris Peeters & Jonny Daenen

In this episode of the Data Playbook podcast, we explore what it really takes to build sustainable, data-centric organizations, moving beyond tooling and dashboards toward lasting value.

Host Kris Peeters is joined by Jonny Daenen (Knowledge Lead at Dataminded), who shares insights from years of helping organizations evolve their data strategy across sectors. Together, they discuss why data platforms, domain-owned data products, and people-first operating models are the foundations of modern data success.

🔍 Topics covered:

• Why dashboards aren’t enough for true data maturity
• From central chaos to federated teams and self-service
• The role of governance in enabling delivery
• How AI and LLMs reshape data tooling, ownership & value
• What “data-centric” really means , and why most fail to get there
