Data Strategy Assessment

Turn your data into a strategic advantage

Is your organisation getting real value from its data?

Are you clear on where your data journey should take you next?

Whether you’re dealing with manual processes, struggling with automation, or looking to make more informed decisions, a clear data strategy can transform how your business operates.

Why a Data Strategy Assessment?

Data is one of your organisation’s most valuable assets. But are you really getting the most out of it?

Too often, organisations collect huge amounts of data and struggle to connect their data strategy to business outcomes, leading to inefficiencies and missed opportunities.

Our Data Strategy Assessment helps you step back and ask the big questions:

How does our data help us achieve our goals?

Understanding how data ties into your wider strategy means you can make smarter, more informed decisions.

Where do we focus to get real value from data?

Not all data initiatives are created equal. We help you prioritise the ones that will make the biggest impact.

Are we set up for success?

Whether it’s your tools, teams, or ways of working, we look at what’s helping and what might be holding you back.

How do we move from reactive to strategic?

Many businesses use data to report on the past. We help you shift towards using data to drive the future.

Our Data Strategy Assessment is about creating a clear, practical plan to make sure your data works for your business.

Helping you uncover opportunities, improve efficiency, and stay ahead of the competition.

What We Assess

We focus on the strategic elements that turn data from a challenge into an asset:

Strategic Vision and Goals

What do you want to achieve with your data? We’ll help define clear objectives aligned with your business goals.

Value and Opportunity

We identify quick wins and longer-term opportunities to drive real business value through data.

Current State and Challenges

Understanding your pain points through a strategic lens – is it really a tech issue, or something deeper?

People and Culture

How to build a data-driven culture that enables better decision-making and innovation.

Technology and Infrastructure

Assessing if your current tools and platforms can support your strategic goals.

Why a Data Strategy Assessment?

A solid data strategy isn’t just about having lots of data – it’s about using it in the right way to make better decisions, work more efficiently, and stay ahead of the competition. Our Data Strategy Assessment helps you cut through the noise and focus on what really matters.

Common Questions

How is this different from a technical assessment?
We focus on strategic business value first, then determine what technology and data is needed to support it. It’s about where you want to go, not just where you are.

What if we don’t have a data team yet?
Perfect timing. We’ll help you understand what capabilities you need and how to build them effectively.

How do you handle sensitive data discussions?
We focus on the strategic level – we don’t always need access to your actual data to help create your strategy.

What happens after the assessment?
You’ll get a clear strategic roadmap with prioritised initiatives and next steps. We can also support implementation if needed.

We’re not sure what’s possible with our data
That’s exactly why this assessment helps – we’ll show you what’s possible and what makes sense for your business.
