September 25 Enterprise Analytics Community – Are You Ready for Data Citizenship in Utilities?

Join the Enterprise Analytucs Community on Thursday, September 25, 2025 at 1:00 PM CT for a presentation with Q&A/open discussion on, “Are You Ready for Data Citizenship in Utilities?” led by Jennifer Stirrup, Data Strategist, AI Thought Leader in Business Intelligence and AI, Keynote Presenter, and Author – Founder and CEO of Data Relish.

Session Description:

The rise of citizen data science is reshaping analytics across the utility sector. No longer confined to specialists, data-driven insight is now within reach for every professional, regardless of technical background. True enterprise transformation demands a broader, more inclusive approach to analytics. Overall, the ambition is to support data citizens while meeting the needs of the enterprise.

For utilities, the path to successful self-service analytics needs to recognise sector-specific challenges, ranging from regulatory compliance to operational silos. To move forward, these challenges require tailored strategies that go beyond traditional, IT-centric models. In this session, we’ll challenge prevailing myths and address the barriers that keep utilities anchored to legacy approaches.

Together, we’ll explore:

– How to empower utility professionals at every level to engage confidently with data
– Strategies for balancing the ambitions of citizen data scientists with enterprise governance, security, and compliance
– Lessons learned from global citizen development initiatives—what works, what to avoid, and how to drive measurable impact
– The critical importance of data quality, stewardship, and robust frameworks for sustainable analytics adoption
– The future of utilities belongs to organizations where every employee is equipped to innovate with data—responsibly, securely, and at scale.

Is your organization prepared to move beyond the status quo? Join us for practical guidance and bold, actionable strategies to embed citizen data science and self-service analytics at the core of your utility enterprise.
