data
Like water or electricity, data has become a commodity. We all have it, but we are not really sure on how to define it or measure it, or what if what we are doing with it is all we can take advantage of.
It’s not only about ones and zeros. From invoices and orders to surveys, text messages, emails or complaints, data takes multiple forms that are often easily connected to each other. Discovering those sources and helping you get hands on into it via digital technologies is where my expertise takes place. Bringing them online will ignite your new engine of growth.
We will cover these 4 stages first:
1. Identification Discover and map new and existing sources of Data. . Process Mapping . Current Re-sources Optimization
2. Validation Verify the quality and quantity of the findings. . Data Cleansing by Dimension and Set Size . Data Validation by Dimension and Set Size
3. Enhancement Generate new sets of richer Data. . New Data Sets Generation . Data Synergies Implementation
4. Activation Identify touchpoints to optimize with the enhanced Data. . New Process Integration . Dashboard Design and Implementation
Three classes of factors affect what an organization can and cannot do: its resources, its processes, and its values.
― C. Christensen, The Innovator’s Dilemma

He finished his 6 years there developing new business opportunities. As a project manager, Daniel was in charge of transforming the service model in dealerships – translating a client-based culture born in Brazil to the Colombian landscape. This consisted of revamping old methodologies & service principles, using the largest SaaS (software as a service) provider in the world.
