Data Lifecycle Management

This step-by-step guide provides one potential approach to a fictional company that aims to establish Group Wide Data Governance & Management. In reality, companies usually face specific challenges in one of those Steps and we start supporting from there forward.

5 Pillars of Data Management

We start with a deep dive into a Data Management Framework to align with your specific business goals and regulatory requirements. This alignment ensures that your data is managed effectively and comprehensively. The framework includes five essential pillars: Governance, Quality and Control, Architecture, Security, and Operations. By working closely with you to adapt this framework to your needs.

STEP 1 | FRAMEWORK

Data Governance Positioning

We then ask strategic questions to understand your vision for implementing these components, including the decision-making boundaries you want to establish. This step ensures that all aspects of Data Management are aligned with your strategic vision and operational needs.

STEP 2 | WORKSHOP

Gap Analysis of Target Capabilities

We conduct a comprehensive Gap Analysis to evaluate the current state ("As-Is") versus the desired future state ("To-Be") of your Data Management practices. We identify gaps in various components such as Data Quality Management, Data Lifecycle Management, Data Classification, Data Stewardship, Regulatory Compliance, Data Access Control, Data Privacy Governance, and Data Risk Management. Based on this, we determine the required activities to bridge the gaps and achieve your desired strategic goals.

STEP 3 | REQUIRED STEPS

Use Cases

Building on the gap analysis, we identify and detail the use cases that will drive your Data Governance initiative in key areas. By defining these use cases, we help you set clear goals and actionable plans for your Data Management initiatives, ensuring an effective Data Governance strategy and significant business impact.

STEP 4 | BUSINESS IMPACT

Target Operating Model I Data Excellence I Data Governance I Data Management

We conceptualize your Target Operating Model and define key Principles, Roles, Guidelines, Technologies, and Policies for your Data Management practices. For each of these layers, we create a detailed concept and align it with the current state ("As-Is") versus the desired future state ("To-Be") by developing documentation like guidelines, role definitions, technology specifications, and policy frameworks.
