About this Item

Paperback. Four years. Forty million kronor. A fully deployed data platform. And a Tuesday-morning question the business still couldn't answer. Your Data Is Already in the Building argues that most data initiatives fail for one specific, nameable reason: they buy capability and call it an answer. Capability is what a platform sells. An answer is what a specific person can act on, in a specific room, at a specific moment - and getting from one to the other takes four separate, sequenced moves. Open it. Curate it. Share it. Decide with it. Built around Meridian, a composite Nordic industrial group, this book follows one organisation through all four moves - and past them, into what happens once an organisation is running a dozen paths at once rather than one. Inside: a repeatable instrument for pricing the cost of every delay. A six-question test for whether a number is actually trustworthy. The four requirements a data product needs before it's shareable. A plain-language question that fixes more adoption problems than any dashboard ever built. Eight further chapters apply the same four moves to the decisions that actually run a business - pricing, credit, inventory, churn, capacity, hiring, procurement, and ESG - each grounded in current EU law, verified and corrected against the most recent regulatory changes, not the guidance still circulating from before them. No firm. No client pipeline. Just the four moves, and fifteen instruments to run them yourself. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

About this title

Synopsis

Four years. Forty million kronor. A fully deployed data platform. And a Tuesday-morning question the business still couldn't answer.

Your Data Is Already in the Building argues that most data initiatives fail for one specific, nameable reason: they buy capability and call it an answer. Capability is what a platform sells. An answer is what a specific person can act on, in a specific room, at a specific moment — and getting from one to the other takes four separate, sequenced moves.

Open it. Curate it. Share it. Decide with it.
