In this episode, we are going to discuss training. Whose responsibility is it to get workers trained to use data in their jobs?

ST's senior correspondent Krist Boo hosts Mr Ajay Advani, vice president of business & partnerships for Asia-Pacific at Tableau and Mr Keith Saw, a digital marketeer in an automative technology startup.
