Strategic Data Leadership Accelerator

Turn Managers into Decision Architects

"Data leadership isn't about knowing SQL. It's about knowing how to think."
— Kevin Hanegan

Why This Program Exists

You don't need more analysts. You need leaders who can lead with data—without getting lost in it.

Most functional leaders were promoted for their execution skills, not their decision-making fluency. But today's environment demands more:

Interpreting ambiguity
Designing KPIs that shape behavior
Knowing when to challenge assumptions
Leading teams through data-informed change

This accelerator exists to build those skills—at the intersection of human judgment and machine intelligence.

What the Accelerator Is

The Strategic Data Leadership Accelerator is a cohort-based program that develops the mindsets, habits, and decision fluency of high-impact data leaders. It's part leadership lab, part simulation arena, and part reflective coaching experience.

Participants don't just learn frameworks—they apply them to real business challenges while learning how to lead better decisions across the organization.

What's Inside

Live Facilitated Sessions

6 to 10 weekly or biweekly interactive sessions

Simulation Labs

Escape rooms, war games, and decision sprints to pressure-test thinking

Toolkits & Templates

Reusable canvases, KPI design guides, and strategic decision models

Reflection & Peer Coaching

Private cohort discussions and personalized prompts
