    #24 - No One Scales Alone, The Architecture of Partnership

    Platforms look powerful. Capable. Comprehensive. They promise insight, automation, intelligence. But platforms do not succeed because of features alone. They succeed because people adopt them, build around them, and carry them into markets that no vendor could reach alone. In the world of data and analytics, the real architecture is not only technical. It is human. Partnerships, incentives, trust, and leadership determine whether technology remains a tool or becomes an ecosystem. Presented by Qlik Partner Ambassador and Qlik MVP Igor Alcantara, and Qlik Partner Ambassador and Qlik Education Ambassador Angelika Klidas, this episode welcomes Peter Kwisthout, Global VP of Channel Partners for Data & Analytics and AI/ML at Qlik. Together we explore the architecture of partnership: how ecosystems are built, how incentives are aligned, and why leadership matters when multiple organizations must move toward the same goal. From the evolution of partner programs to the realities of global collaboration, this conversation examines a simple truth behind every successful platform. No one scales alone.

    #23 - The AI Constitution

    Artificial Intelligence feels powerful. Capable. Objective. It drafts our emails, ranks our candidates, flags our risks, recommends our actions. It moves quickly, scales effortlessly, and speaks with confident fluency. But what happens when intelligence spreads faster than responsibility? What if the real risk is not that AI makes mistakes, but that we never decided who owns those mistakes? Presented by Qlik Partner Ambassador and Qlik MVP Igor Alcantara, and Qlik Partner Ambassador and Qlik Education Ambassador Angelika Klidas, this episode explores the six pillars of AI governance: safety, security, legal, ethics, performance, and sustainability. From bias and model drift to regulatory pressure and environmental cost, we examine why governing AI is not about slowing innovation, but about preserving trust. Because in the end, the question is not whether AI will shape decisions. The question is whether we are disciplined enough to govern the systems that shape them.

    #22 - The Danger of Trusting Numbers

    Numbers feel precise. Clean. Objective. They sit on dashboards with confidence, backed by charts, models, and carefully defined metrics. But what if the danger is not bad data, but trusting numbers too easily? What if filters reshape reality, samples distort conclusions, and metrics quietly become targets instead of signals? Presented by Qlik Partner Ambassador and Qlik MVP Igor Alcantara, and Qlik Partner Ambassador and Qlik Education Ambassador Angelika Klidas, this is the part 2 about the many fallacies in data. This episode explores how selection bias, regression to the mean, KPI worship, and Goodhart’s Law reveal a deeper truth: data does not remove uncertainty. It only reduces ignorance. And unless we question what numbers represent, we risk mistaking measurement for understanding.

    #21 - Data is NOT the Truth

    We live in a time where data is everywhere. We measure everything. We store everything. We visualize everything. And yet, somehow, we still get surprised by outcomes. Projects fail even though the numbers looked good. Decisions backfire even though the dashboards were green. Predictions miss reality even with sophisticated models behind them. Presented by Qlik Partner Ambassador and Qlik MVP Igor Alcantara, and Qlik Partner Ambassador and Qlik Education Ambassador Angelika Klidas, this is the part 1 of an episode about the many fallacies in data, where the numbers don't tell the whole story.
