Getting the value • It’s not about the technology – although when it gets
tough it’s very easy to make it so.• Aggressively manage the scope – start small and
implement fast (30 to 90 day increments).
• It’s not just reporting - focus on the business outcomes!• Establish the business benefits and link them to
outcomes.• Address data quality upfront.

What works (and what doesn’t) • Understand the business outcomes.
• Establish strong business sponsorship and ownership.• Agree a set of guiding principles.
• Manage business expectations upfront – discuss data quality and agree scope at the onset.
• Focus on developing end user capability – not product training.
