Phases

The budget is approved and the vendor is selected. What we do not have is confidence that the plan survives contact with our data.

The conversation we keep having with sponsors
§ The challenge

Sponsors funding a data platform, warehouse modernization, or analytics program routinely reach the moment where the budget is approved, the vendor is selected, and no one can honestly answer whether the plan survives contact with the organization's actual data. Steering committees keep asking the same question. Nobody wants to be the one to slow the build.

§ What we delivered

DATA4AI runs a fixed-scope, seven-phase assessment across four two-hour sessions scheduled immediately after signing. The phases: (1) introduction and stakeholder alignment, (2) landscape review of current data and BI estate, (3) gap analysis against target architecture, (4) risk and best-practice review, (5) tools and reporting evaluation, (6) timeline and dependency mapping, (7) staffing and change management. The output is one written assessment and roadmap document, not a slide review, so it can be handed straight to whoever builds the thing.

§ Outcomes
  • 4 two-hour sessions with your team, scheduled immediately after signing
  • 1 written assessment and roadmap document, not a slide review
  • 7 phases covering technology, process, and people
  • Fixed scope, fixed deliverable, defensible in steering committee
  • Prototype delivery often begins within weeks of the assessment closing
