- The complex nature of data investment leads to de-scoping and delivery of data services that do not meet business needs/give value to the business.
- Formalization of the practice just for the sake of formalizing results in an initiative that is lengthy, costly, fizzles out, does not deliver business value, and ends up being considered a failure.
- Non-data centric thought leadership leads to downstream issues: integration, quality, accessibility.
Improve your business's data architecture
- Walking through a book of architecture building plans with a personal guide is cheaper and faster than employing an architect to build and design your home.
