See you there!

Confusion costs more than you think.

Clarity is worth more than you dream.

You inherited a data team, a data platform, a random assortment of reports, pipelines, and tools.

It can feel like a mess.

Daily, you see the pain points.

  • The database is overloaded with ETL processing and batch reports.

  • The data model can't accommodate most of the new report requests.

  • And leadership isn't convinced we are making progress in the right area so our budget is under review.

I've talked with many leaders in this position. It's exhausting, frustrating, and often feels hopeless.

Getting clarity through this noise feels like a lighthouse in the fog of night.

Not just doing the next thing to stay busy. But doing the next thing that will move you toward your outcomes. That will move your organization toward its goals.

And get your team out of neutral.

Here’s a simple and effective for you to start the 2nd half of 2024 well and to give your data team clarity.

Two core parts:

  1. Audit and assess

    Where are we? Where are we winning? Where do we want to be?

  2. Strategize and roadmap

    What's our unique area to excel? What resources do we have? How can we best execute on our vision?

You can go from noise to music. From pain to growth. From being lost to finding a trail.

Confusion is costing you more than you think.

Clarity is worth more than you dream.

An outside perspective is often essential in this process. Here’s a two-week offer to take you on this journey.
