How does data strategy work?
Data strategy starts with a clear understanding of an organization’s business goals. From there, it defines the role that data will play in achieving those goals and outlines a plan for how to get the most value from data. Data strategy is an essential part of any organization’s overall data business strategy.
When done well, it can help organizations make better use of their data and gain a competitive edge. But when executed poorly, it can lead to wasted resources and missed opportunities. Data strategy is not a one-time exercise; it should be revisited regularly as an organization’s business goals and needs evolve.

What is a big data strategy, and why should companies have the strategy in place?
Big data refers to a large number of data companies have access to. It can come from various sources, including social media, transaction records, and sensors. The challenge for companies is to make sense of this data and use it to improve their business.
A big data strategy helps companies to set goals and priorities for dealing with big data. It also helps them to invest in the right technologies and build the necessary expertise. Companies will struggle to get the most out of their data assets without a big data strategy. They will also be at a competitive disadvantage compared to those companies that have invested in big data.
