Lerato Semenya — Chromatic | Managing Director

How effective leaders are turning heaps of data into insight and wisdom.

In this episode I talk to Lerato Semenya, a data and transformation evangelist, and the founder of Chromatic Consulting, about how leaders can extract better insights out of data and analytics for a competitive advantage.

Lerato has just launched her new venture to assist corporations in facilitating tangible shifts in intention and application around diversity and inclusion initiatives, after a very successful career in data science with a major bank, energy company, and talent management conglomerate.

Key quote:

"When we think about innovation and transporting ourselves into a future, we like to think of invention... but it's more about understanding the context that we're in and removing the vilification of failure."
