Martin Haagoort
CEO Intellerts
Investigate your data landscape, i.e. what are the key data sources, systems of record, data warehouses, data marts and external data sources in use. Perform a data quality measurement of your key data assets. Extend your data management strategy to include work plans for key departments involved. Distinguish data management for primary company processes from data management practises for analytical processes, but make sure there are clear connections.
Glenn Elberse
COO Intellerts
Create a bimodal set-up to separate the operational reporting environment from an analytical sandbox/data innovation – i.e. data science development environment. Stabilise your business intelligence environment, assess the possibility of establishing self-service BI. Invest in data storytelling – focus on successful consumption of analytics in decision support processes.
