This framework helps organizations align Data Strategy with Business Strategy to prioritize goals around the most pressing operational needs. It introduces Data Management & Data Ability Maturity Matrix to visualize the core path of business digital transformation, which is easy to understand and follow. And it provides the standard template for implementation, which can share the flexibility to engage applications of different industries.
2. Why A Data
Strategy?
Prevention of Digital Hoarding
To collect and store data with little thought about
how that data might be used, or how it might
help our business be more effective. Too much
data can lead to wasted productivity. Because it is
redundant, obsolete, and trivial; and even it
entails legal risk.
3. Why A Data
Strategy?
Inability To Manage Data
Overlooking to valuable internal data sources
Overinvestment in unproven external data sources
Overreliance on big data technologies to attain value
4. Why A Data
Strategy?
A data strategy is a plan designed to improve all
of the ways you acquire, store, manage, share
and use data. Its core is to Transfer A Data
Ability to A Business Capability
5. Implementing
a Data
Strategy
3 Dimension(3D) Data strategy
• Drive Data Strategy with Business Strategy
• Initialize Data Strategy with Data Management
Maturity
• Accelerate Data Strategy with Data Ability
Maturity
6. Implementing
a Data
Strategy
Drive Data Strategy with Business Strategy
To align the data strategy with business strategy is
to prioritize its goals around the most pressing
operational needs of the organization.
7. Implementing
a Data
Strategy
Initialize Data Strategy with Data Management
Maturity
The Maturity of Data Management Infrastructure
(data governance, master data management, data
integration, data quality, etc.) is the key to use
data effectively and efficiently. It is the first
composition of Data Strategy.

9. Implementing
a Data
Strategy
Accelerate Data Strategy with Data Ability
Maturity
The Maturity of Data Ability (Data Scope, Data
Analysis, Data Implementation, Interaction
between Human & Data, etc) is the key to engage
the most pressing operational needs and drive
core business capabilities. It is the second
composition of Data Strategy.

“Organization A”
Data Strategy
“Organization A” Business Strategy
Vision and Mission
• Engaged, Empowered, Making a Difference
Cores
• Accessible, Flexible, Future Focussed
• Impact in a Changing World
• Balanced, Sustainable, Effective
Tasks
• Engaging with our community for Good
• A Globally Networked Organization
• Accessible, Flexible, Future Focused Business
• Business with Impact in a Changing World
• Developing a Sustainable World
• Nurturing Staff, Thriving Teams
• An Economically Sustainable and Effective Enterprise
12. Example:“Organization A” Data Strategy
Aligning with Business Strategy, we can confirm the target position in
the Data Management Maturity Matrix. By evaluating current status
with target, we can find the difference and draw the evolution plan.

Stage 3:
• Business-driven Data Governance
• Data-driven organization Establishment
Target
17. Example:“Organization A” Data Strategy
Aligning with Business Strategy, we can enlist our data ability needs and
evaluate our current position in the Data Ability Maturity Matrix. Then,
we can draw the evolution map.

24. 3 Dimension
Data Strategy
A business-driven Data Strategy Framework
• Clear priorities definition set up the core path of
digital transformation.
• Visualized processing is easy to understand and
follow.
• Practical evaluation tools, the Data Management
& Data Ability Maturity Matrix, can help detect
any variation and gaps, and make QA achievable.
• Standard template for implementation may
share the flexibility with the implementation in
different industries.
