Data Strategy Workshop - Your roadmap to data quality and value

Overview

The Data Strategy Workshop is designed to help organisations assess their current data landscape and create a pragmatic plan for improvement. This comprehensive workshop, facilitated by data experts, focuses on identifying business challenges, understanding data sources, and developing a strategic roadmap to enhance data quality and value. By addressing key areas such as data integration, data lake concepts, core workflow automation, and team training needs, the workshop aims to deliver a clear, costed roadmap to achieve your data goals.

Key Features

Assessment of Current Data Landscape: The workshop begins with a thorough assessment of your existing data landscape. This includes identifying and analysing data sources, understanding data ownership, and evaluating data volume, velocity, and variety. This foundational step ensures that all aspects of your data environment are considered.

Business Challenges and Objectives: We focus on understanding the specific business challenges you face and the objectives you aim to achieve through improved data management. This helps in aligning the data strategy with your business goals, ensuring that the roadmap addresses your most pressing needs.

Data Lake Concepts: Explore the potential of data lake concepts to centralise and manage your data more effectively. Learn how to implement a data lake that integrates various data sources, supports diverse data types, and scales with your organisational needs.

Systems Integration Map: Develop a comprehensive systems integration map to visualise how different systems interact and exchange data. This map identifies integration points and highlights areas where data quality can be improved through better connectivity and integration.

Core Workflow Automation: Identify core workflows within your organisation that can benefit from automation. By understanding these workflows, the workshop helps design automation strategies that enhance efficiency, reduce manual effort, and improve data consistency.

Team Knowledge and Training Needs: Assess the current knowledge and training needs of your team. This ensures that your staff are equipped with the necessary skills to manage and leverage data effectively, supporting the long-term success of your data strategy. Clear, Costed Roadmap: The primary output of the workshop is a detailed, costed roadmap that outlines the steps needed to achieve your data goals. This roadmap provides a clear path forward, including timelines, resource requirements, and expected outcomes.

Pain Points Addressed

Poor Systems Integration: Many organisations struggle with data quality challenges and siloed data due to poor systems integration. The workshop identifies integration gaps and provides strategies to improve data flow and consistency across systems.

Older Systems Handling Large Data Volumes: Legacy systems often aren't designed to handle the current volume and velocity of data. The workshop addresses this by exploring data lake concepts and modern integration solutions that can scale with your data needs.

Inconsistent Data Between Systems: Inconsistent data can lead to inaccurate insights and poor decision-making. The workshop focuses on creating a unified data strategy that ensures data consistency and reliability across all systems.

Lack of Centrally Owned Data: Without a centrally owned pool of data, organisations face challenges in data management and governance. The workshop helps design a data strategy that centralises data ownership, improving accessibility and control.

Dependencies on Third Parties: Relying on third parties to make changes to business logic can be inefficient and costly. The workshop aims to empower your team with the knowledge and tools to manage and update data processes internally.
