Datarig's Approach to Data Strategy
Data strategy can have different meanings for different individuals and each organization's approach is distinct.
​
That's why we tailor every data strategy engagement to your specific needs while leveraging a proven and effective methodology.
​
Whether you require assistance in defining, evaluating or implementing your data strategy.
We begin with a structured program to understand your business goals, assess your current position and develop a practical roadmap for achieving success.
1. Instigate
Every data strategy initiative begins with essential steps:
1. Assembling the delivery team and key stakeholders.
2. Validating and aligning the project scope and expectations.
3. Confirming the objectives.
4. Establish the workshop schedule, share relevant documentation and develop a comprehensive project plan.
2. Discovery
​The next step focuses on understanding your organization’s desired future state.
This includes conducting interviews with business leaders to ensure executive alignment, assessing the current state at a high level, defining primary business goals and sub-objectives, identifying key data objectives, outlining future state requirements and analyzing the impact of change management in detail.
3. Assessment
After defining your desired future state, the next step is to conduct a deep analysis of your current state. This involves engaging key stakeholders through discovery workshops and interviews to assess strengths and weaknesses in existing capabilities and their alignment with data objectives and strategic corporate goals.
4. Roadmap
The final and most critical step is developing a comprehensive and actionable data strategy roadmap. This roadmap outlines a phased timeline of initiatives, prioritized based on benefits and business impact. It details the internal and external resources required for each phase, associated investments and dependencies to illustrate the interconnections between various stages.
