FOUNDATIONS FOR SUCCESS
Data Strategy
Every business collects data. Often massive amounts of it. When considered in abstract terms like “billions of rows of data” or terabytes, data can be intimidating. But when considered from a perspective focused on practical outcomes that solve real-world business challenges it is easy to see the value. Data strategies are among the most effective ways to align CMOs and CFOs around improving marketing effectiveness and customer retention which drives revenue, ROI, lifetime value, customer satisfaction, and data monetization.
Consumer relationships with brands have changed dramatically over the last decade and data is at the heart of it. This change has been accelerated in the past few years by an increase in international and domestic data privacy legislation, and the emergence of Artificial Intelligence into everyday life. Coupled with increasing expectations of dynamic customer experiences, regulation of 3rd party data suppliers, and of course revenue growth expectations by investors, ignoring untapped data opportunities is no longer an option.
What is Data Strategy?
A comprehensive data strategy is a plan of action designed to help an organization achieve its goals by effectively using their internal and external data assets and technologies to achieve focused outcomes.
Effective data strategies are based on each organization's unique objectives, risks, data source mix, data applications, consent terms, interaction channels, and opportunities to create an actionable plan with short- and long-term benefits to the organization.
