A Practical Method for Crafting a
Data Strategy
ANALYTICS TO WIN® OVERVIEW
Analytics TO WIN® is a practical and prescriptive method for crafting a data strategy.
The method includes a series of easy-to-use assessments, tools and templates that help your organization develop a concise and realistic strategy. The resulting strategy serves as the roadmap for your forthcoming data management & analytics-related projects.
What makes the Analytics TO WIN® method so effective?
1. ALIGNMENT – Each of the 4 Steps in the method are intentionally designed to create alignment between the overall corporate or departmental objectives and ultimately, each of the data management & analytics projects in the strategy.
2. STRUCTURE – The method provides a structured approach for crafting the strategy. All too often, strategy projects get “stuck in the weeds” or simply get off-track. The Analytics TO WIN® method avoids these pitfalls by providing the structure to stay focused and complete the process more quickly and effectively.
