Questions About Data Strategy?
Our experts have the answers.
What is a data strategy, and why is it important for my business?
A data strategy is a comprehensive plan that outlines how an organisation will collect, manage, and utilise data to achieve its business objectives. It encompasses data governance, architecture, quality, and analytics, ensuring all data activities align with business goals and provide actionable insights. A data strategy is important as it enhances decision-making, operational efficiency, and competitive advantage.
How can Oakland assist in developing data strategy solutions tailored to our needs?

- Data Maturity Assessments to evaluate your current capabilities
- Data Culture Assessments to understand organisational behaviour towards data
- The development of Data Target Operating Models to illustrate how data will function in your future organisation
We ensure that your data strategy is actionable and drives tangible business outcomes.
How should data governance be approached within a data strategy?
Data governance is integral to all our data strategy services at Oakland. Our approach involves managing your data consistently and compliantly, supported by Data Quality Assessments. We evaluate benchmarks such as completeness, accuracy, consistency, integrity, and timeliness to produce impactful data strategies. Our methodology, known as the ‘Lighthouse Method’, focuses on delivering quick wins through smaller projects, implementing data governance in a way that achieves rapid returns with minimal hassle.
Does a data strategy help with data analytics and deriving insights from data?
Absolutely. At Oakland, we’re about Everything Data. Our Data Analytics and Insights Consulting services are designed to help you understand performance trends and make informed decisions. We assist in ironing out your analytics processes, democratising your data, and leveraging technology for both tactical and strategic outputs. By implementing machine learning and artificial intelligence, we enable you to share data across your organisation effectively, leading to a data strategy that ensures meaningful business transformation.
What is a Data Maturity Assessment, and how can it benefit our organisation?
A Data Maturity Assessment evaluates your organisation’s data capabilities across various benchmarks, including completeness, accuracy, consistency, integrity, and timeliness. This assessment provides a transparent and structured view of your current data state, identifying areas for improvement and optimising resources. It serves as a foundation for developing a data strategy that aligns with your business objectives and drives value.
How to develop a data strategy from a Data Maturity Assessment

Everything we do is geared towards solving tangible problems – we identify what’s working and what’s not, and we support action mapping, transformation, execution, and adaptation.
