Data strategy can mean multiple things to multiple people.
And every data strategy is unique.
That's why we approach each data strategy engagement individually, but with a tried, tested and successful methodology.
Whether you need support shaping, reviewing or executing your data strategy, we initiate a programme to gain perspective on where your business wants to be, understand the position you are in now and put in place an actionable roadmap for success.
Every data strategy engagement starts with some key steps: identifying the delivery team and key stakeholders, validating and aligning the project scope and expectations and confirming the project goals. From there we'll agree on the workshop schedule, sharing any relevant documentation and put together a detailed project plan.
The next phase is to begin getting perspective on where you want to get to as an organisation. This involves steps such as interviews with business leaders to gain executive alignment, high level current state discovery, qualification of top-level business goals and sub objectives, identifying high level data objectives, future state requirements and detailed change management impact analysis.
Once we know where you want to get to, we need to find out where you are now with a deep analysis of your current state. During this process we will engage key stakeholders through discovery workshops and interviews to identify strengths and weaknesses in current capabilities and how they help achieve the data objectives linked to your strategic corporate objectives. We will also review your operating models, the teams responsible for data management and review your existing technology architecture. We'll use all this information to define the unique criteria for prioritising the initiatives that will make the most business impact quickly, your ability to execute on them and any team or budget requirements.
Finally and most importantly we'll create a comprehensive and actionable Data Strategy Roadmap including a timeline of phased initiatives prioritised by benefits and business impact, the external and internal resources required for each phase, any investment required for each phase, dependencies to illustrate how the various phases interrelate. We'll also outline any organisational changes required to support the initiatives.
