The data readiness handbook

The Data Readiness Handbook addresses common challenges like data silos, inconsistent reporting, poor data quality, and underutilized AI/ML capabilities that hinder enterprise intelligence. It outlines a unified approach to data by aligning people, processes, and technology across four core capabilities to ensure data accessibility, quality, and insight at every level. This roadmap, supported by industry leaders like Google Cloud, Collibra, and Databricks, guides organizations from fragmented data towards a smarter, more agile business.

• Break down silos with open data access to enable real-time collaboration and data flow across teams.
• Build a unified data foundation with high-quality, consistent data to fuel confident decisions and AI initiatives.
• Drive innovation using AI to predict trends, personalize experiences, and optimize business operations efficiently.

Finally, fostering a data-driven culture promotes trust, collaboration, and faster decision-making across the organization. By integrating these steps, businesses can move from data uncertainty to continuous innovation, ensuring they are well-positioned for a data-driven and AI-powered future.
