Data Strategy
For the Data Management Association, Data Strategy entails "an understanding of the data needs inherent in the business strategy: what data the organization needs, how it will get the data, how it will manage it and ensure its reliability over time, and how it will utilize it." We would like to go one step further. For us, Data Strategy is arguably the most critical contributor to achieving your business-strategic goals.
Our Data Strategy Framework
"In my role as executive board member, I have participated in a significant amount of Data Strategy initiatives. Based on this experience, I am convinced that a template-heavy, top-down approach rarely leads to the desired outcomes. This is why we have developed a light-weight, iterative approach, focusing on real value generation for our clients."

First, using suitable evaluation dimensions, a current state assessment is performed. It typically consists of self-assessments, a maturity scoring and semi-structured interviews with the relevant stakeholders.
Second, in close alignment with the business strategy, value propositions are developed and strategic capabilities are identified.
Third, a mission and vision statement are condensed from the results of the first two steps. The organization-specific viability and cultural fit are taken in consideration.
Finally, leveraging the developed vision, an implementation roadmap is defined for the strategic initiatives leading to the target state. A high-level business case is created to demonstrate the economic viability.
Our Evaluation Dimensions
"We have experienced that a small set of evaluation dimensions helps focussing the process and reduces the perceived complexity of the topic. Together with a suitable maturity scoring, these dimensions allow intuitive visualizations and simplify both current-state and target-state discussions with all stakeholder groups."
