1/2 day course 
Private 
Certificate of Attendance Through guided frameworks, real-world examples, and hands-on exercises, this workshop helps teams move beyond buzzwords and define what being "data-driven" actually means for their organisation.
You’ll explore the core building blocks of a data-driven business - culture, capability, and connectivity - and learn how to connect data goals with real business outcomes. We’ll introduce a practical framework for assessing data maturity, identifying gaps, and developing a roadmap that covers people, processes, and platforms.
We’ll also touch upon the foundations of data governance, including roles, responsibilities, and access, and how to build alignment across teams while staying compliant and ethical. With space for action planning, you’ll leave with a clear data vision, a draft 90-day roadmap, and practical tools you can apply right away.
This Data Strategy & Culture – A Leadership Workshop for Driving Data Maturity course is available as a private session that can be delivered via Virtual Classroom, at our training centre in The Shard, London, or at a location of your choice across the UK.
