Data Strategy Services

Elder Research has found that an effective data strategy is one of the strongest indicators of future analytics success. Creating a successful data strategy requires assessing your unique business challenges, matching those challenges with relevant data and resources, and establishing a set of principles and processes that grow your capabilities.   

Because there are many levels of analytics and modeling technologies, it is important to develop a data strategy that is customized to your organization’s unique business challenges, available skills, data infrastructure, and analytics maturity. 

With 25 years of experience in advanced analytics and data science, we have the cross-industry expertise to deliver a high-level review of your data practice. During our half-day on-site Data Strategy & Discovery Session, we conduct guided workshops with your leaders and executives.

An assessment is a deeper appraisal of your organization’s current data and analytics maturity in five core dimensions—Analytics Capabilities, Processes, Infrastructure, Culture, and People. Our team of experts reviews how your organization currently applies analytics and identifies key opportunities for analytics to deliver more business insight and value.
