While Data as a Product become a popular approach for companies to follow, many organizations face challenges in executing effective Data Product strategies, often falling into two categories: centralized Data & Analytics (D&A) struggles or a technical-first approach. The former struggles with organizational change management and technical alignment, while the latter may end up with misaligned tools that don't fit the operating model. Our engagement will help you navigate these challenges by ensuring your operating model and technical enablement plan are aligned and tailored to generate maximum value.
