Stage 03

Scaling

Leveraging internal and external data.
Let's make your data a genuine asset.

A Scaling business

Your existing data estate is now understood and generally well mapped. Although, the path to aggregation to create more meaningful insights and value may not be straight forward.


At this stage, senior management is keenly aware of the value that data can add. The business is actively looking for ways to use data to help make better decisions and power revenue generation. Policies and procedures cover completeness, consistency, provenance and permissioned use. However, it is possible that they are not fully implemented across the organisation, potentially impeding operations and efficiency.

Using internal and external
data to your advantage.

Internal data is used to generate insights but rarely, if ever, monetised. In the instances that data is monetised, it is usually a one-off, opportunistic project and not broadly sponsored. This is usually because while the overall potential value is understood, there is no commercial framework to support external monetisation.


Although external data is used, there may not be a single point of entry or sole ownership for the acquisition process. This may lead to fragmented and duplicated use of data.


Data acquisition can be time-consuming, requiring multiple levels of sign-off. However, you do see external data being used to leverage value.


Understand the opportunities.
