Strategic Data & AI Insights from a Former McKinsey CDO: Mohammed Aaser

In this episode of Expert's Path, I sat down with Mohammed Aaser, former Chief Data Officer at McKinsey, now at Domo. Mohammed knows his stuff. He's been at the forefront of data and analytics for a long time, helping build McKinsey's Analytics practice and leading big data transformations at Ameriprise Financial. He's seen what works and what doesn't when it comes to getting real value from data. This chat is super helpful for any leader or executive looking to get smart about data and AI. Some of what we discussed include: Building Data Applications Like a Startup: Instead of spending a ton of time and money building a huge data system upfront, Mohammed suggests a "lean startup" approach. Figure out what problem you're trying to solve first, then build just enough to test if it's valuable. HR Leaders as Data Innovators: We explored how HR teams can find big value in their data by tackling common problems like how to best staff teams or find the right people to hire. Seeing Everything in Your Business: When your data is well-organized, you get a clear picture of what's happening across your company. This helps you make decisions faster and optimize things better. AI for the Hard Stuff: AI and machine learning can help you do things that are super complex for people, like predicting which customers might leave or finding the best sales talent from huge amounts of information. The Way Software is Changing: Mohammed explained how tools like Domo are making it easier to connect all your data and build custom applications, rather than relying on a bunch of separate, rigid software programs. Making Sure Your Data is Healthy: We covered why it's important to check the quality of your data and understand your current processes before building new solutions. Why People Matter Most in AI: Getting people on board with new ways of working is often the biggest challenge, not the technology itself. Mohammed emphasized the importance of good change management. Mohammed's Key Advice: "You Can't Outrun a Bad Diet." This means AI won't fix basic problems. Focus on getting your fundamental data in order first, build some momentum, and then AI can really shine. 0:00 - Intro & Mohammed's Background in Data 4:00 - How to Approach Data Projects Like a Startup 5:45 - Data Insights for HR Leaders 11:00 - What Data Leaders Want You to Ask 13:30 - Why Data is So Important Now 15:45 - Using AI for Complex Tasks 18:30 - Connecting All Your Data 24:30 - How Business Software is Evolving 28:00 - The Importance of Managing Change with AI 33:00 - Final Advice: Focus on the Basics 🔗 Connect with Mohammed Aaser:   / mohammedaaser   https://www.domo.com/
