While it’s clear organizations need to have a comprehensive data strategy, few have actually developed a plan to improve the access, sharing, and usage of data. Most IT organizations have comprehensive plans for applications, development tools, platforms, and even storage, but there are few details that ensure that data is managed as a business asset. Much of the challenge in data strategy development is understanding the details and boundaries of what a plan entails. Evan Levy discusses the five essential components that make up a data strategy, explores the individual attributes of each, and explains how the details may differ across organizations of varying complexity (e.g., a corporate division, a business unit, or an enterprise).
