Strategic Data Assessment

Data is one of the most critical assets for any organization in the digital age. A strategic data assessment involves evaluating existing data systems and identifying gaps in capabilities that could limit growth or mission success. The assessment may include data architecture, data integrity, data security, data governance, and data management systems.

At the end of the assessment, the consultant will develop a plan for improving data and technology platforms, directly aligned with the client's most strategic priorities, to serve both external and internal needs. The plan will include a roadmap for investments in data infrastructure, data governance, data analytics, data visualization, and other areas as needed.

Strategic AI/ML Assessment

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are transforming the business landscape, enabling companies to automate processes, improve efficiency, and create new business models. A strategic AI/ML assessment involves evaluating the company's current AI capabilities or opportunities to develop and leverage such capabilities against competition, best practices, sector threats, and other factors.

The assessment may include evaluating the company's data quality, data management, data analytics, data visualization, and other AI-related capabilities. The consultant will then develop a clear and achievable roadmap to improve operational maturity in this vital new area. The roadmap may include investments in data infrastructure, AI/ML technology, data management and governance, talent acquisition, and other areas as needed.

Technology and Commercial Due Diligence (for a company or a potential acquisition)

Due diligence is a critical step in any business merger, acquisition, or partnership. It involves evaluating the target company's or potential partner's capabilities, assets, liabilities, risks, and opportunities. A technology and commercial due diligence assessment focuses on evaluating the target company's technology and commercial capabilities, including IT infrastructure, security, applications, and customer base.

The consultant will evaluate the target company's IT infrastructure, including hardware, software, network, and security systems, and analyze its capabilities and vulnerabilities. The assessment will also evaluate the target company's commercial capabilities, including market position, customer base, revenue, profitability, and growth potential.

At the end of the assessment, the consultant will provide the client with a detailed report that outlines the target company's technology and commercial capabilities, including strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. The report will also provide recommendations on how to mitigate risks, improve performance, and leverage opportunities to achieve strategic objectives.
