Data Needs Analysis
Do you recognise this?
Every meeting is about who is right again instead of what needs to happen now.
The figures do exist. What is missing is one version everyone trusts, so every decision gets pushed back.
Data spread across ERP, accounting, Excel and standalone tools. Reports rebuilt from scratch every month.
- Test your company’s data needs below with nineteen statements
- Result visible straight away, no form first
- Two minutes of work
- Anonymous, nothing to fill in
That is where the problem sits. Not in the systems themselves but in what is missing between them. Every system is right from its own angle.
What a DNA does
DNA stands for Data Needs Analysis. Pragmatic and practical. Not a hundred page academic reference nobody reads but two to three pages you can act on come Monday.
Strategic
Leadership, half a day
We start with the decisions and not with the data. Which decisions are coming up this year and which information is missing for them today?
Functional
Finance, sales and middle management, one day
Per department: which questions come up and which data exists today? At the centre sits the list of every existing report, who uses it and which source feeds it.
Technical
IT and the people who know the systems, one day
Where does the data come from, how reliable is it and how does it travel from raw data to reporting? Current situation next to what it should be.
You get a concise two to three page memo: the pain points prioritised by impact and effort, plus an action plan in three steps. We go through it together on site and set the priorities. We build nothing in this trajectory and we are tied to no technology.
