DATA AUGMENTATION

 In a platform driven world where data is seen as the strategic lever for differentiation, it is important to understand what business outcomes can be improved through elevated Data and Analytics (D&A) capabilities and what investment in the D&A Strategy will be required in the organizational workforce to drive those outcomes. At GC we believe the successful implementation of any D&A Strategy depends on the organizational familiarity with the D&A value chain, as well as the integration of D&A capabilities across the enterprise performance infrastructure. In order to achieve the Enterprise-wide embedment of D&A excellence, our GC Data and Analytics Augmentation approach entails, creating increased comfort and awareness with data in everyday execution of work delivery across the organization, led and supported by a maturing journey of building the D&A skills capabilities needed to drive business value for current and future relevance.  

GC Data and Analytics Strategy

 As a key enabler of strategy, GC Data and Analytics (D&A) Strategy focusses on connecting the Enterprise Value Creation (EVC) vision with the key value drivers on the path to achieve Alpha. By matching core business strategy to D&A use cases, GC D&A Strategy enables the prioritization of key business initiatives towards augmenting the maturity of data use from Data as a Utility of Enterprise Value, towards Data as a Driver of EVC.  

GC Data and Analytics Performance Optimization

GC Data and Analytics Capability optimization

Successful execution of D&A strategy requires highest integrity of data architecture, the effective management of data to ensure usability, availability, privacy, security and quality, as well as the optimization of the data analytics landscape across business and domain knowledge areas. This functional augmentation can only be achieved through bespoke interventions that are geared towards increasing the effectiveness of the functional capabilities, as well as the increasing efficiency of how the communities of practices (COP) work together to achieve a compound effect aligned to business value priorities. GC D&A Capability Optimization partners with the Chief Data Officer (CDO) to empower its D&A functions to operate at maximum efficiency and effectiveness, ensuring the organizational infrastructures are optimally designed and people have the right skills to deliver against the D&A strategy. In order to ensure excellence and highest quality of delivery when executing along the D&A value chain, we embed the operational mechanics and performance infrastructure, alongside the required D&A ways of working and value chain workflows to maximize efficiency and effectiveness for augmented Enterprise performance. To ensure talent deployment is aligned to the D&A Target Operating Model (TOM) and newly defined ways of working, we develop talent optimization strategies and skills acceleration learning journeys to prepare the workforce to respond to the ever-changing dynamics and needs of the business. 

GC Data and Analytics TOM

To capture the most value from the wealth of Enterprise data, the organization’s data needs to be secure, clean, consistent, quality assured and readily available for the Enterprise eco-system. With the aim to empower organizations to maximize the value of data, we apply a value chain approach to the end-to-end data lifecycle, allowing for the application of analytics and generation of new insights across the Enterprises’ domain knowledge areas for optimum EVC. To ensure excellence along this information value chain, our GC D&A Target Operating Model (TOM) capability takes on a systemic TOM development approach, focusing on the optimization of the Data lifecycle within an organizational eco-system, with a single orientation of turning data into value. Leveraging our GC Business Transformation capability, the core capabilities of the Data Lifecycle are established, and the interoperability and sequence of effort required for optimization of functional processes are defined for fast, efficient and effective outputs. In addition, the ways of working between the Communities of Practice (COP) and other Information Management (IM) architectural bodies are established, to ensure dissemination of best practice, standards and frameworks, fit-for-purpose deployment and embedment of the D&A resources. Entrenching the principles of flexibility and adaptability to accommodate for organic growth, our D&A TOM design approach allows for cross-functional teams with diverse skillsets to work together in an agile environment, leveraging GC People Intelligence insights to drive functional performance. Making use of our GC Organizational Design capability, the people efficiency principles, requirements and measurements are defined and translated to the optimal D&A Organizational structures for optimum people performance. Understanding the significant impact of such a business transformation initiative, GC Strategic Change Management practices are proactively deployed to manage the people and cultural changes associated with implementing a new D&A TOM, placing extreme focus on People Experience across the change transformation journey. To ensure the D&A Community is skilled and prepared to operate in newly defined ways of working, GC D&A TOM leverages GC Learning and Leadership Development capability, to close the future skills gap and accelerate the reskilling and upskilling of talent. By linking talent to value through People Effectiveness and People Efficiency strategies, we aim to enhance the organization's ability to achieve new business goals, uncover new insights and create new data types that drive new business ideas and revenue streams.

Translated from the D&A TOM and the core capabilities embedded along the Data Lifecyle, GC D&A Capability development focusses on defining the functional capability architecture required for information value chain optimization. Aligning to the Enterprise Strategy and the core value generating elements of the business that contribute to EVC, our GC D&A Capability development approach to defining the functional capability architecture entails a robust definition of capability standards and frameworks, value drivers, business expectations, functional interoperability, technology requirements, people skills-, knowledge- and competency proficiencies, as well as key performance metrics for each respective capability of the Data Lifecyle. Leveraging our GC Enterprise Engineering, and GC People Effectiveness practices, we cluster the capabilities aligned to the sequence of effort, data flow and inter-dependencies that will achieve the most significant compound effect to deliver value across the information value chain. With a key focus on continuous learning and improvement, and to ensure D&A Capability accelerates into new ways of working that, we leverage our GC People Effectiveness practice and GC Strategic Change management capability to develop learning journeys focussed on developing the skills and behaviour required for successful D&A TOM operationalization, as well as develop the D&A Business Partnership mindsets for enterprise-wide D&A augmentation.
