Data Governance & BI

Governance was slowing BI down. We made it the enabler.

How a retail convenience group moved from governance debates to a data productization shortlist — giving their BI team the confidence to move faster with less debate.

The Situation

The team was modernizing BI while migrating infrastructure. Governance was underpowered by part-time roles and unclear business cases. The operating rhythm was too slow for decisions, self-service and standardization were lagging, and infrastructure migration was creating bottlenecks.

Our Approach

01

Reframed governance in business terms and defined a practical, value-focused scope

02

Shifted operating rhythm to short check-ins plus targeted deep dives for real decisions

03

Ran a focused governance deep-dive workshop with curated content in the exact context of their business

04

Started data product scoping and consolidation of redundant reporting, with a lightweight roadmap
