Delivering Data Capability

In the previous chapter, we explored the value case for applying data to the built environment, and the cultural change required for organisations to realise that value. We now dive into the practicalities of delivering better data outcomes within organisations. In doing so we touch upon three themes. Firstly, we cover the foundational data capabilities (governance, architecture, and data modelling). Secondly, we discuss how to deliver data projects within an established organisation, and how to work alongside a core IT function. Finally, we dig into how best to procure data projects to maximise their chance of success.
