First 100-Days-Plan As Data Leader

Perspective

  • Set The Right Expectations

    Clarify expectations from the start. Engage HR in workforce planning and recruitment. Make data the every day “equipment” of the business. Identify the best place to start immediately to build momentum for the exciting longer-term vision.

  • Invest in Data Literacy

    Data is not directly tangible, so users often don’t see the connections between their work and data services. When they are educated to spot those possibilities, they become co-builders in the data culture.

  • Break Siloes

    Build bridges across siloes and between business and IT to enable data to flow for better use.

  • Define expectations and understanding of the landscape.

  • Understand the culture with interviews and diagnostics.

  • Identify opportunities, capabilities, and quick wins.

  • Empower users with literacy programs and gain trust when asked to change how they do things.

  • Work closely with business data owners to craft and champion immediate and long-term projects.

  • Build a robust high-level architecture showing data movement activities.

  • Build on the quick wins and data trends insights to create a long-term data strategy.
