Key Elements of a D&A and Innovation Strategy
McKinsey identified Ontology, Governance, MDM and a flexible D&A platform as key elements for a Successful Data Strategy. We have been doing these key elements for more than 15 years before their extensive survey was published, in 2018, covering more than a thousand organizations across geographies and industries.
Now, since our strategy covers analytics and innovation in addition to data we added 3 additional key elements:
- SMART Business Objectives
- Use Cases & Business Cases
- Strategy & Roadmaps.
The intents are:
- Aligning the roadmaps with the business objectives and keep them aligned since Business Objectives change over time
- Defining roadmaps to sequence these projects in order to implement the strategy
- Integrating an innovation process, which includes AI, as part of the Use Cases key element.
Business Objectives need to be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely) and even SMARTER!
