Live Online Organizational Data Strategy and Planning Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Oct 26, 2026 · from USD 800
Most organizations collect far more data than they use, and investments in systems and analytics stall when they are not tied to clear business goals. A data strategy sets out how information will create value, which capabilities are needed and in what order to build them. You begin with value creation, identifying high-impact use cases, treating data as an asset and assessing current maturity. Planning sessions cover strategy frameworks, governance structures, data ownership, policies and the operating model for data and analytics teams.
Architecture days explain data warehouses, lakes, integration, master data and cloud options at a level that lets managers make sound choices without becoming engineers. Analytics sessions examine descriptive, predictive and prescriptive analytics, BI tools and how decision support systems change management routines. The final day turns the plan into execution through prioritized initiatives, budgets, skills, change management and measures of success. Executives, IT and data leaders, strategy and planning managers, CIOs and heads of M&E or research will find the frameworks useful. You leave with a draft strategy and a phased, costed roadmap for your organization that leadership can debate, fund and track.

About this course
This practical and interactive training focuses on helping professionals create organizational data strategies that improve information management, support business intelligence, and strengthen evidence-driven decision-making. The course explores enterprise data planning approaches, governance structures, analytics integration techniques, information management practices, strategic alignment processes, and performance improvement methods. Participants will gain practical skills for designing data roadmaps, improving information utilization, strengthening governance practices, and supporting organizational growth.
Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from technology organizations, digital transformation programmes, data-driven enterprises, and public sector IT environments, examining how organizational data strategy and planning is applied in practice and where it most often breaks down.
