Our Approach
We understand that your business is established, with infrastructure and procedures in place but you’re seeking to enhance your data capabilities, possibly over time rather than revolutionise your operations. We take a phased approach to developing a suitable data strategy, roadmap and implementation plan.
To create a sensible, realistic programme of work to realise your ambitions from data and analytics and produce the enhanced performance to warrant such investment, it is vital to understand your company’s current situation and desired future state.

How do we do that?
We conduct management and stakeholder interviews to gather the necessary information to produce a presentation deck for delivery and discussion with your executive team.
Deliverables
From the initial assessment, we produce a preliminary assessment of what good looks like in your particular context and shape a high level, time bound and realistic programme of work to realise an ambitious but achievable outcome in line with your objectives.
We’ll also recommend next steps and actions to drive forward a programme in modular phases identifying the critical path and key dependencies.
