STRATEGY:
EXECUTABLE STRATEGIES & ROADMAPS
Data strategies are almost always developed with the best intentions, but all too many of them fail to achieve their desired outcomes. 85% of data strategies fail because of data silos, lack of skilled staff (data literacy), and/or a lack of clear goals for using data. Data is the most important business asset of the 21st century. Companies that plan for integration, storage, protection, and utilization of data will be at a distinct competitive advantage.
In response, Search Discovery developed the Executable Data Strategy as a method for developing strategic plans that can be accomplished in a series of sprints.

OUR APPROACH
We take a methodical approach where we assess, architect, and activate each client’s unique data and analytics ecosystem to deliver executable strategies that roadmap the future. Unlike traditional roadmaps, we don’t design strategic plans that have dependencies built in, because they have the potential to derail entire projects. Instead, our executable strategies help clients build capabilities, establish foundational processes, and align stakeholders to the core components that make up a unified strategy. Independently, these strategies deliver stand-alone value. But when aligned to a corporate vision, they help companies establish feasible roadmaps, one leg of the journey at a time.
