A data strategy doesn’t have to be unique
it has to work. I’m writing a little book right now on data strategies, and one thing I’ve noticed is that there are templates.
But for some reason, we all tend towards the extremes: We tend to try to either reinvent the wheel because we’re soooo unique, or we try to copycat whatever works for someone else.
What I’ve seen work tends to be neither. It tends to be somewhere in between. It uses components of what others have done, of what worked in the past, and what works in other sectors or industries.
Then it gets a little bit of extra spice, a good topping adapting it to the given situation, and a good data strategy is ready to be served.
