🧠Successful companies see data as a strategic lever for growth, not just a team or set of tools. This requires a maturity shift from being Data Informed ➡️ Data Led. My roadmap lays out the capabilities and stages required to do this:

It is easy for companies to treat data as a set of tools or a team to implement. But data needs to be seen as a strategic lever for growth.
