Businesses across the globe are struggling with the vast amounts of data they collect, and the lack of actionable insight caused by data fragmentation.
Putting together the pieces of your data puzzle can often be a headache due to disconnected legacy platforms, operational processes and siloed data collection. Data is the new oil, but it's only valuable if you have a reliable engine. The biggest winners globally didn’t win just because of the web or technology. They won because they understood the power of data.
A modern data strategy must have a purpose, be pragmatic and evolve over time. By definition, it needs to be aligned to your business strategy and adopted by all levels of management. Successful data strategy strikes a balance across 5 key pillars: data, technology, culture, delivery and capability.
The lack of organisational alignment and cultural resistance is a leading factor in data strategies failing.
According to Harvard Business Review, 40.3% of business leaders identify a lack of organisational alignment and 24% cite cultural resistance as the leading factor contributing to this lack of business adoption.
Brilliant digital experiences start with a granular understanding of every customer. Connect and activate all your data across your business units to better understand customer interactions, past transactions and past experiences (Eg. Requested a quote but phone sales team or did not buy product or service).
