On this week’s show we are joined by Caroline Carruthers to talk about her new Data Maturity research. You can get your own copy of the Carruthers & Jackson report here: https://carruthersandjackson.com/data-maturity-index/ The video Matt mentioned is here.

Every week, Matt Ballantine and Chris Weston sit down to untangle the complex and often surprising ways technology reshapes our daily work. Their WB-40 podcast isn't about shiny new gadgets or abstract theories; it's grounded in the practical reality of how tools, platforms, and digital strategies influence leadership, team dynamics, and organizational culture. While they often bring in insightful guests from various fields, the core of the conversation always returns to navigation-figuring out how to steer through the noise and implement change that actually sticks. You'll hear discussions that blend thoughtful analysis with relatable anecdotes, moving seamlessly between big-picture business trends and the granular details of management. This is for anyone who feels caught between the relentless pace of technological promise and the human realities of making things work. Tune in for a candid, nuanced exploration of work's evolving landscape, where the focus is less on having all the answers and more on asking the right questions.
