Course details

Your organization already has an enterprise strategy, an IT strategy, and maybe digital strategy, too. Why is a data strategy necessary? How does it fit into the other strategies? In this course, instructor Peter High shows you the value and need for a cohesive data strategy for your business. Peter begins by explaining the building blocks of data strategy and why data governance is the best way to scale your data operation. He covers the role of the chief data officer and how to educate the entire organization so that everyone understands the value of data strategy and how it will be leveraged. Peter goes over the various puzzle pieces involved in building your data strategy, as well as data strategy’s relationship with IT, digital strategy, and business capabilities. He concludes with the need to commit to a data orientation and how to engage the entire company in your data strategy.

    With the topic being so broad, this was a difficult course to land. There were some good nuggets in here, and some key topics raised including linking to the business strategy, collaboration with other teams, and picking somewhere high value to start. However, 3 areas need attention: 1. Some of the sections were so vague as to be essentially useless if you didn't have a reasonably deep background already. (Hard to address without making the course longer.) 2. The course makes the assumption that a data strategy should be 100% about analytics, with other aspects such as governance, data ops, privacy and security being in the context of serving analytics. This is a common mistake. With the current global focus on cost and efficiency, organisations would do well to ensure their data strategies include the data supporting critical business processes at scale. 3. The section on different uses of data was all over the place, presenting lists with different types of thing together.
