As an organization, you know you need to do something with the available data. We often hear the phrase “Maybe we should do something with data.” But how? Where do you start? Every organization has data, but what matters is what you do with it.
The bigger issue
For us, that starts with the bigger issue: the core goals of your organization. After all, data by itself is worth little. How do you deploy it? How do you make it work for you? You have ambitions and goals, but do you have an appropriate data strategy?
What is a data strategy?
A data strategy is a plan that describes how your organization will collect, manage, analyze, and use data to achieve your business goals. It’s not just about the technology, but also the processes, people, and culture within your organization. A good data strategy ensures that you use data effectively to support your goals and strengthen your competitive position.
The risks of no data strategy
The lack of a proper data strategy can pose serious risks:
- Lack of overview and inefficiency: Without a good data strategy, you see that there are many initiatives of which few are implemented. A data strategist has oversight and makes sure it lands with the right people.
- Missed opportunities: without a strategy, you miss opportunities to use data to improve your business processes and drive innovation that contributes to achieving your goals.
- Change capacity is lacking: data strategists make sure they get the entire organization on board. When you don’t have a clear strategy, you see that it is often difficult to initiate change toward a data-driven organization.
