Is your leadership aiming to further mature the organization towards a true data-driven business? Does your organization experience a need to make better use of data, analytics, and AI to stay ahead of competition? Or are you struggling with developing a shared vision and future-proof business strategy?

And then, are you ready to transform your vision and ambitions into concrete milestones and actions? Do you not exactly know how and where to start your digital transformation? Do you need a ready-to-execute implementation plan, comprising measurable objectives, concrete actions, the associated timelines, and a clear overview of who owns which actions? Do you want the interdependencies between business areas to be identified, and the milestones in these various disciplines to be aligned?

The data-driven business program guides you towards a shared and broadly supported vision on what a data-driven business actually is and what it means to your organization. As leaders, you develop a set of specific ambitions, tailored to the organization’s context. Here, the process of strategic ownership, and true business impact starts. The program guides you through the process of determining critical success areas, formulating concrete milestones, and identifying the interdependencies. Together with subject matter experts from the various disciplines involved (e.g., IT, legal, HR, finance, operations), an overarching roadmap and action plan per critical success area are developed. Ready to be executed.
