    Every successful data plan starts with one thing:

    A clear strategy. Without it, you build systems that may solve the wrong problems.

    The problem: Some organizations channel their enthusiasm for data, analytics and AI by focusing solely on building the right data capabilities and systems. However, enthusiasm without strategy often amounts to wasted effort.

    The solution: To create an effective data plan that contributes to your goals, the strategic groundwork must come first. Why? Because the nature of the capabilities and systems you need depends on those strategic goals.

    Here are the first steps you need to take for your Strategic Groundwork:

    1. Re-Design Business Strategy Identify your data needs based on your business strategy. Is it about operational efficiency, or do you need data for your competitive advantage? What role will data and AI play in your organization?

    2. Charter Relevant Choices What data related capabilities are needed in which department? Incorporate relevant choices into the appropriate strategies to ignite data culture. Design a data strategy if you need a data function.

    When the data capabilities are defined, you can start developing your data plan.

    Remember: A data plan without strategic groundwork is like building a house without a blueprint. You risk building something you do not need or want.
