About us
Hi there. You’ve arrived at one of the world’s largest data communities… make yourself at home. At Carruthers and Jackson, we help businesses harness their data to think, and then do, differently. This means answering questions such as: how can I make my existing data work harder, does my business have the right data foundations in place to build from, and how can I educate my colleagues on the value of our data? Our award-winning strategies are trusted by the likes of Channel 4, Teenage Cancer Trust and British Heart Foundation, along with businesses of all shapes and sizes from around the world. Why? Because we get results. By solving big problems, one little problem at a time. Carruthers + Jackson. The answer’s in the data. Simple.

Our #DataMaturityIndex found that over a quarter of businesses still don’t have a full #DataManagement strategy, and almost one in four have little to no #DataGovernance framework in place. 🤯 Ann Schlemmer of Percona suggests in her Forbes Tech Council article (link in comments) that this could be due to a lack of #DataLiteracy or simply a lack of #Data – and we agree. If you’re interested in learning about where to start when building a strategy, get in touch! Our data experts will be happy to help. ️☎️ #DataCommunity #DataExpert #DMI

We have not one but two special guests joining us for #SummerSchool this week! Our penultimate session will focus on building your team and will be led by our expert guest speakers Dr Keith Jones and Tessa Sharp, Executive Partners and Co-Founders at Alchemy Worldwide. Keith has over 45 years of experience working with groups and individuals in a variety of learning contexts and was originally trained in clinical psychotherapy. Tessa has founded businesses, been part of an acquisition team, and, with real-time experience of the executive and board agenda, she is well-versed in the tough challenges and complex issues that today’s business leaders face. It’s safe to say we’ll be in good hands on Thursday – see you then! #Learning #TeamDevelopment #People

Data Governance. We haven’t stopped talking about it in 2025 so at Summer School this week we called in an expert to give us the rundown. Nick Doughty from the Microsoft Enterprise Security Team joined us to share his predictions about the future of governance 👨🏫 Nick covered how #AI and new security challenges are working with us and against us as #DataProfessionals. But, at its core, the industry is now owning, controlling and leveraging #data as a strategic asset, something our CEO Caroline Carruthers has been saying will cement the #CDO as a permanent edition to the C-Suite for years 💼 He wrapped the class with some examples of how AI is helping #DataLeaders take back control of their data estate and left us with an important message: tools will help us better manage data governance, but the core challenges remain people and processes rather than technology 😬 We’ve grabbed some screenshots of his presentation, so take a look below for his thoughts on why data governance can be so tricky, and why you should plan for change. See you next week!
