Upscaling Digital Capabilities for Better Business Practices
The Better Data Driven Business (BDDB) programme helps SMEs gain deeper consumer insights and scale up their businesses through responsible use of data. It aims to support two types of SMEs, those that are starting to learn to use data to generate insights, and those that seek to apply and share data for more complex purposes.
Watch this video to find out how effective use of data can help your business remain competitive in the digital economy.
Through BDDB, learn how to:
- Collect necessary data safely;
- Combine data across systems with adequate protections; and
- Share data externally with partners and suppliers safely, in line with the requirements of the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) obligations.
