‘Who owns data analytics in your company? And who should?’ – Econsultancy
John Kelly says, “As the data revolution impacts more of corporate America, one of the most important questions facing the data-maturing organization is “Who owns the data?”
Not surprisingly, the answer is “it depends.”
Personal experience leads me to believe there are at least four suitable potential models, each with its own pros and cons.
Ownership of the data itself is part of the issue. Data silos are often cited as holding up the benefits of analytics, and uneven investments in technology to store, integrate, and access the data may be at fault as well.
Analysis is not possible without access to the data, so that’s a parallel issue that must be considered.
With data analysis and the predictive power gained from it becoming such a powerful advantage for companies today, anticipating where analytics is best placed is an essential part of corporate strategy“.
