Data can make a significant difference to the bottom line. To get the best out of it, you need a data strategy aligned with your business strategy, as well as the right organisational structures and technology.
We can help, from deciding where to start, to creating sustainable long-term value.
Is your data strategy suitable for what your organisation is doing right now? For the next three years?
Do you need to validate what you already have?
Or maybe you have no data strategy at all.
We can help. Using our Data Navigator, a tried and tested approach, we design business-centric data strategies based on corporate goals and outcomes, incorporating your existing projects that simplify processes and harness your data and technical capabilities.
What data skills do you need? If you’re struggling to identify them – as well as the organisational structure and the technology you need to deliver value – there are five key skill areas we can help you focus on:
Data use and culture
Use of data analytics
Use of AI
Business-enabled data governance
Data management
You know that your data strategy must align with your business strategy. It’s clear which skills and technical capabilities you need for success.
But how do you make it happen? Where do you start?
With us, you can create a value-based roadmap, together with implementation plans that you can run. We can also help you execute and deliver, to realise the full value of your organisation’s data.

It's routine in industries such as grocery and insurance for retailers to sell insight to their suppliers. Most datasets have monetary value. The Data Practice has experience across many sectors of extracting full value from data.
Finding the right skills and technology can be the easy part of implementing a data strategy. Convincing doubters on the top team is often the hardest challenge. The Data Practice consultants understand the full picture – how all the pieces of organisations and their data fit together. They are skilled at the diplomacy required to realise the best value for organisations.
Your data risks being corrupted if you don’t have robust governance and interlocking procedures. The Data Practice has consultants in data governance and management who are skilled at discovering where your data is, where it goes, how it’s accessed, how it’s updated and much more.
It's not known how many organisations comply with the Data Protection Act 2018 (equivalent to the EU GDPR) and other relevant laws and regulations. But we know that many struggle to respond to subject access requests, and may not even have a process for deleting customer data when asked to. We can help.
