Opportunity Assessment

We'll leave no stone unturned when looking at how data can be used more effectively within your business and as a differentiating factor in the products and services you provide to your market. We'll look at how operational decisions are made, how investments are planned and how your customers chose your products and services. Whether taking a narrow focuss on a particular problem or casting our net far and wide we'll find endless opportunities.  

Capability Assessment

Maybe you already know where the opportunities are but you don't know whether you have the skills, processes, experience, technologies and culture needed to unlock them effectively. We can show you where you are strong and highlight your weaknesses, we'll show you what good lucks like and how improving your capabilities can make the difference between months and years when it comes to delivering new data initiatives. 

Data Product & Technology Roadmap

Building on our opportunity and capability assessment we can help you work out which opportunities to explore and when. Which opportunities will help accelerate your existing strategies for the minimum investment and how should those opportunities be sequenced in order to move faster and more efficiently towards your end goal. From detailed 12 month roadmaps to high level strategic programmes of change that last for 5+ years, we can help plot your course.

Operating Model Design

Knowing which capabilities need to be strengthen as well as when and how to strenthen them is a critical factor in leading a successful data transformation.

Whether that's helping marketing teams imrpove their campaign cadance using their new data skills and tools or helping merchendisers to use data to set prices of promotions. We can help win hearts and minds and make change stick.

Coaching and Mentoring for Data Leaders

Sometimes Data Leaders just need a little bit of support and direction to get going. It's very common for a head of discipline such as data science, data engineering or BI to step up into a Head of Data or CDO role without having gained the experience needed to navigate the complexity of top management or deliver complex programmes of change. As consultants we do this for a living and we can help newly appointed Data Leaders thrive in their new positions.

Data Literacy for Decision Makers

Most senior business leaders would say they are pretty good at using data to make decisions but are they really? Do they know the difference between data they can trust and data they can't? Do they know what it means to be statistically relevant? Do they seek out new data and better insights on a regular basis or are they using their gut instincts more often than not? Helping decision makers to understand the difference between good decisions and bad decisions is key to this course.
