The data landscape
Data Quadrant Model
How can we meaningfully talk about data in our organization?
To define a suitable data vision and strategy, Michael introduces the Data Quadrant Model to FastChangeCo.
The goal is to align various perspectives on what it means to work with data.
The Data Quadrant Model is a sense-making framework, that can help resolve the difficulties of bringing stakeholders on the same page with regards to data management.
A sense-making framework provides a structure for individuals to connect their understanding and experiences to, so that potentially different experiences and perspectives can be placed in a shared context.
Usually, the majority of stakeholders share a common goal. However, they may not have a common understanding of the journey to achieve this. Therefore, it is helpful for all parties involved to create a common ground —a shared understanding— for the planning, design, execution, control and management of data in the company.
