AgileData Feature #03 – Catalog Browse and Search
Data Persona’s can use the Catalog to quickly search, find and access the Data Assets (Tiles) they need to complete a data task, such as supporting the development of Information Products or using the data for analysis.
Topic Tags and Dynamic Filtering allows Data Assets to be easily found using the Organisations business terminology.
With the Menu Anywhere capability they can drill out to any other screen in the AgileData App, retaining the context of the Tile, removing the need to go to the screen and manually searching for that Data Asset again.
Any time a data user performs a data task in the AgileData App, or an automated data task is executed on the AgileData Platform, the Catalog is automagically updated. The Catalog data is treated as a first class citizen, not as data exhaust.
The Catalog is part of a wider ensemble of features that let them search or browse to locate essential Data Assets quickly, view comprehensive details for each set of data, and track the flow of data similarly to parcel tracking.

One suggestion on starting your journey into becoming a data consultant
At #AgileData we are focussed on helping people become data entrepreneurs.
Whether they want to start their journey by side hustling, or becoming a one person data band or grow their small data consulting companies revenue and margin, but not their team, we are keen to be part of their journey.
AgileData Feature #02 – Single Sign-in
With Single Sign-On (SSO), users gain streamlined access to the AgileData App, eliminating the need for repeatedly logging in and reducing friction in their data day.
This feature leverages Google Identity and Access Management (IAM) to provide seamless and secure authentication, ensuring that users can easily connect to the platform using their existing credentials.
AgileData’s SSO is not only secure but also scalable, designed to meet the needs of growing teams while maintaining the highest standards of data protection and access control.
5 core Data Collection Patterns
At AgileData, delivering our Fractional Data Service has revealed the diverse challenges of integrating data from varied organisations, industries, and systems. To scale effectively, we’ve adopted five core data collection patterns based on our “Define it Once, Reuse it Often” (DORO) principle:
1. Push
2. Pull
3. Stream
4. Share
5. File Drop
These patterns are supported by a toolkit of tested technologies like Dataddo, Meltano, and Google services, allowing us to solve new data challenges quickly. Our approach ensures flexibility and scalability, always starting with the question: Push, Pull, Stream, Share, or File Drop?
An Experiment – Top Data Trends for 2025 with Coalesce and Google NotebookLM
Join two LLM generated guests as they discuss the Top Data Trends of 2025 Whitepaper published by Coalesce.
This is a different episode. Instead of a human guest, we have two robot guests.
I decided to try and experiment. My experiment was, can I upload a white paper to LLM, have it generate a podcast listen to that podcast in my daily walk and see whether that summary removes the need for me to actually read the white paper.
So in this case, I have grabbed a white paper called Top Data Trends for 2025 from Coalesce, uploaded it to the Google Notebook LLM and got it to generate a podcast with two hosts chatting about the white paper.
Have a listen, let me know what you think.
AgileData Feature #01 – Marketplace
Information Consumers can quickly search, find and access the Information Products they need to answer their business questions.
This feature enables Information Consumers to search and find all the available dashboards, reports and analytical models in the AgileData App, regardless of what third party Last Mile tool they are created in.
It also enables the Information Consumer to quickly open that report or dashboard directly from the Marketplace, when those reports are accessible by a web URL

The Haier model with William Malek
Join Murray Robinson and Shane Gibson as they chat with William Malik about the Haier operating model. Haier, a Chinese appliance giant, transitioned from a failing state-owned enterprise to a highly profitable publicly owned organisation with over 5,700 micro enterprises and $50 billion in revenue.
We explain how Haier uses an internal marketplace to allow microenterprises to trade goods and services with each other, based on a value added mechanism and smart contracts. An approach based on the philosophy of RenDanHeYi, where managers release control and support teams to achieve their potential to create valuable solutions within an open environment.
William makes a compelling case for the benefits of a decentralized agile organizational model in driving high innovation and performance.
