In this episode of Hub & Spoken, Jason Foster, CEO & Founder of Cynozure, speaks with Lisa Allen, Director of Data at The Pensions Regulator (TPR), about the role of data in protecting savers and shaping a more resilient pensions industry.

Lisa shares the story behind TPR's new data strategy and how it's helping to modernise an ecosystem that oversees more than £2 trillion in savings across 38 million members. Drawing on her experience at organisations including the Ordnance Survey and the Open Data Institute, she explains why strong data foundations, industry collaboration, and adaptive thinking are essential to success.

The conversation explores how the regulator is building a data marketplace, adopting open standards, and applying AI to enable risk-based regulation, while reducing unnecessary burdens on the industry. Lisa also discusses the value of working transparently, co-designing with stakeholders, and staying agile in the face of rapid change.

This episode is a must-listen for business leaders, regulators, and data professionals thinking about strategy, innovation, and sector-wide impact.

Behavioural data is fast becoming a cornerstone of modern business strategy.

Not just for media measurement or advertising optimisation, but across product, pricing, logistics, and platform development. It tells us what people actually do, not just what they say they do.

As traditional market research struggles with low engagement and recall bias, brands are turning to digital behavioural data to make sharper, faster decisions. Whether it's tracking consumer journeys in the app economy or identifying early adoption trends (like the impact of AI tools on category disruption), the value lies in real, observable behaviour at scale.

But, that shift raises new questions around data ownership, consent, and fairness. And, the rise of AI is only accelerating both the opportunity and the complexity.

In the latest episode of Hub & Spoken, Jason Foster, CEO & Founder of Cynozure, speaks to Chris Havemann, CEO of RealityMine, and discusses everything from:

• The transition from survey-based research to behavioural data analysis
• The impact of AI on interpreting digital interactions
• Ethical considerations surrounding data consent and transparency
• Building trust through clear data collection and usage practices

Learn from Chris's 25+ years in data and insight, and explore how behavioural signals are reshaping everything from media to market intelligence.

In this episode of Hub & Spoken, Jason Foster speaks with Colin Zima, CEO and Co-founder of Omni, a modern business intelligence platform that combines the best of governance and usability. With a background spanning roles at Looker and Google, and two decades as both a data user and builder, Colin brings a unique perspective on the evolution of BI and the real role of AI in shaping its future.

They explore why business intelligence remains critical for aligning organisations, how AI is raising the bar for access and self-service, and why semantics and business logic are more important than ever. The conversation challenges the notion that AI will replace dashboards, and instead focuses on how it can enhance accessibility, support different user needs, and empower data teams to work more efficiently.

This episode is essential listening for business and data leaders thinking about the future of BI, the practical use of AI, and the role data teams play in delivering real value at speed.

Tune in to hear how modern BI is evolving, and what leaders need to know to stay ahead.
