In this episode, Denis sits down with Jim Gavigan, founder of Industrial Insight, to discuss Datatude, a framework for measuring your organization's readiness to leverage industrial data effectively.

About the Guest: 

Jim Gavigan brings 30 years of experience in industrial manufacturing, from vibration analysis and control systems to working at Rockwell Automation and OSIsoft. He founded Industrial Insight in 2016 to help companies maximize the value of their time series data.

Key Topics:

• What is Datatude and why it matters
• The five dimensions: Data, Technology, People, Priorities, and Culture
• Why companies struggle to build sophisticated analytics on poor foundations
• The importance of starting small with concrete, achievable projects
• Common pitfalls: prioritizing technology over people and process
• How to scale data initiatives across multiple plants
• Building the right team and culture for data success

Key Takeaway: Stop trying to implement advanced AI and analytics on crappy data. Focus on getting the basics right first — clean data, proper documentation, the right people, and a culture that supports data-driven decisions.
