2024 Planning for Data Teams

2024 is rapidly approaching. Ideally, a turning of the calendar is an opportunity to evaluate, plan, and strategize for the new year. However, holiday season is here and for many it becomes a blur of activity in and out of the office.

Accidentally, you will wake up in early January without any purposeful thought or planning for your data team in 2024.

Over the next week I’m going to outline a template to help you and your team prepare for the next year.

Invaluable data teams are purposeful in their assessment, planning, and strategy.

There will be a small bit of homework each day. A question or task for you to spend a few minutes reflecting on.

If the fall season flew by before you had time to plan for next year.

If you feel uncertain about the direction of your team.

If you hope for better alignment in 2024.

This is for you.

• Day 1 (Monday): Assess and Reflect on the Facts

• Day 2 (Tuesday): Remember the Mission and Vision

• Day 3 (Wednesday): Identify Gaps and Goals

• Day 4 (Thursday): Plan Tactics and Success Metrics

• Day 5 (Friday): Allocate Budget, Resources, and Time

Carve out 20 minutes each morning for the next 5 days.

Read this email. Complete the homework.

And (as always) hit reply.

I’d love to help on this journey.
