Analytics/Business Intelligence Consulting
Another Analytics Revolution?
"Analytics revolutions" are a mainstay in my career - from mainframe to desktop to SQL server to cloud data lakes. Implementing Snowflake, Informatica Cloud, and Tableau at UW-Madison proved how transformative the modern platforms really are. AND...they challenge long term assumptions and beliefs of stakeholder populations that can slow or stop implementation.
That's why I focus on the broader strategy and build roadmaps based on 7 distinct tracks:
- Stakeholder Engagement/Governance
- Collaborative Prioritization, Requirements, and Design
- Scaling and Sequencing Infrastructure Investments
- Analytics Organizational Design
- Data Governance Policies, Procedures, and Standards
- Program and Project Management; and
- Organizational Change and Communications
How I can help:
- Introduce stakeholders to modern analytics with a fun, engaging presentation, or coach you through your own
- Use TDWI, Gartner, Educause and other models to assess your current state and help you answer the question: how bad is it?
- Interview stakeholders and summarize areas of concern and opportunities for collaborative improvement
- Build an actionable project roadmap and plan for implementation of high impact, lower-budget initiatives to get you started on up to major data initiative that will take you to the next level.
