2. The Competitive Challenge
Businesses need to be [data] driven to be competitive
Historically:
• [data] management has been a technical function
• [data] has been held in multiple systems and in numerous offline
databases and spreadsheets
• Corporate knowledge has not been translated into [data]
• A silo mindset has inhibited [data] sharing across the enterprise

3. Connect Up Your Data
Connecting the [data] dots is a business imperative
Today:
• [data] is universal and everyone has a vested interest
• [data] is now an organisation’s common ground
• Governance is required to ensure your [data] has integrity,
brand values are secured and communications internally
and externally are consistent
• Acing that last mile requires [people] to be fully connected
to the enterprise’s [data] at all times

is seemingly obvious

are appropriately connected.
