Why being data-driven is essential
In today’s everchanging and increasingly competitive business environment, data is one of the fundamental enablers for competitive advantage.
The race to data maturity: is your business as far ahead as you think?
While most businesses understand the importance of data, few are truly able to transform it into a competitive advantage. So, what sets successful data-driven companies apart from the rest? The critical ingredient is data maturity. The higher an organization’s level of data maturity, the better they can leverage data to create value and unlock a competitive advantage.
Our new global study – The race to data maturity: is your business as far ahead as you think? – takes a closer look at the concept of data maturity by comparing how business leaders self-assess their level of data maturity to how their actual programs, processes and policies stack up.
Our research identifies seven best practices to help businesses reach data maturity, drive growth, and unlock a competitive advantage through data.
- Operationalize a data governance program.
- Enforce organization-wide data mapping.
- Use a shared dashboard to monitor data quality regularly.
- Fix data quality issues at source.
- Centralize your data in a shared location.
- Make data available to anyone who needs it.
- Share data knowledge with everyone in your organization.
