Let's talk about data maturity

Data maturity is no utopia

Organisations that use data to make decisions on a day-to-day basis are likely to be data mature, while those who do not yet use analytics are at the start of this journey.

Data maturity is a measure of how advanced a business is at managing and utilising data. Organisations that use DATA to make decisions on a day-to-day basis are likely to be data mature, while those who do not yet use analytics are at the start of this journey.

There are a few key characteristics shared by just about every data mature organisations :

  • they manage data as an enterprise asset and have data strategies that are closely tied to their business objectives;
  • their data handling personnel have clearly delineated roles and responsibilities and understand the importance of great data to the business;
  • their Data Producers/Data Creators are fully aware of the need to provide high-quality data to their Data Customers/Data Consumers;
  • they have well-defined Critical Data Elements (CDEs) and good interdepartmental communication; and last but not least, they work with high-quality, dependable data.

But organisations with low data maturity often suffer from the following problems :

  • they spend almost 40% of their time making ineffective decisions;
  • they suffer from a lack of data literacy, which means that > 65% of all their data is never analysed or deployed;
  • their employees often lose more than 5 working days each year due to procrastination/confusion caused by low data quality;
  • the lack of intelligent data automation increases their operational costs by 40-75%.

Understanding data maturity and how to climb the data maturity scale can bring a whole new dimension to your organisation, not just with how it uses its data but how it performs as a whole.
