How do you start using your data to drive business results? It all begins with taking that first step in data management. Unlike software development, you don’t need to have every step mapped out from the start. Don’t get me wrong, it’s important to have a goal. But you’ll often end up changing direction as you go. Because as you dig into your data, you may encounter challenges like inaccessible data, poor quality, or data that isn’t as valuable as expected. Rather than following a rigid plan, focus on taking small, quick steps. Whether building a dashboard, setting up a data warehouse, or integrating applications, aim to deliver early and often. Let the data guide your next move, and always keep business results as your top priority. All the Best, Tucker |
