• Orbition Group is a global, award-winning, executive and leadership search & advisory firm dedicated to the Data, Analytics & AI (DAAI) market.
• We combine board, executive and leadership search, interim and fractional advisory, leadership development and assessment, research, talent & market intelligence, and workforce advisory, all underpinned by the industry’s leading DAAI leadership community and powered by our in-house media production firm, Driven by Data Productions.
• Every organisation is on the journey to evidence-based decision-making, enable by DAAI, driving the next wave of innovation, transformation and growth. Consequently, it’s the most significant area of growth and investment for modern organisations.
• To deliver these new data initiatives and reap their benefits, businesses are making significant investments across their DAAI teams/capabilities.
• However, delivering meaningful impact from these investments, at the speed and scale desired has proven problematic for most organisations.
• Orbition Group enables organisations and their leaders to deliver improved business performance and generate competitive advantage, by unlocking greater value from those investments.
• We work with boards, executive teams, and CDAOs to close the gap between ambition and execution, by addressing the leadership, structure, and capability gaps that stall transformation, innovation and improved decision-making that limits ROI.
• While many traditional search firms remain slow, transactional and disconnected from the communities they serve, we operate at the epicentre of the DAAI ecosystem, shaping the industry.
• We are the only search and advisory firm in the DAAI space that amplifies credibility, trust, reach, influence, and access with an integrated, in-house media production firm. This serves as the engine behind our industry-leading podcast, global events and industry content, but also as a platform for organisations to build their own hiring brand.
