Who I work with

Enterprise or SME — the fundamentals are the same

Whether you're a growing business wondering why the numbers never quite agree, or a global organisation standing up an AI factory — the underlying challenge is the same. Data that isn't trusted can't be acted on.

I've worked at both ends of that spectrum. I've helped a one-person PMO cut a day's manual work down to five minutes, and I've led programmes saving $62M at one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies.

The thinking is the same. The scale is different.

The value of data

Where are you on the escalator?

Every organisation is spending money on data. The question is what level of return it's getting. There are four levels — and most businesses are stuck at the first two without knowing it.

1

Data exists

You have reports. Nobody quite trusts them. Dashboards are built by one team and questioned by another.

2

Data is used

Reports are trusted. The data team is busy. Outputs explain past decisions rather than informing future ones.

3

Data informs strategy

The data function is involved in planning, not just reporting. Predictive analytics is starting to emerge.

4

Data is the competitive edge

Data strategy and business strategy are the same document. AI is an operating capability, not a project.
