Advisory
“We must take greater advantage of our corporate data, whether internal or external to the company.”
“The data must be managed in a similar way to other corporate assets.”
How many times have the two sentences above been said or listened? Our goal is to translate them into concrete actions, bearing in mind that to manage the Data to its fullest potential it is necessary:
being able to count on the support of the technological infrastructure, but also of a growth path of People and Processes;
have in mind what are the Capabilities, Skillsets and Governance, then have a deep knowledge of the current state.
“Painting by the numbers” Project
We have in front of a complex drawing to be colored, divided into numerous areas marked by numbers indicating the color to be used to fill them.
We can deal with the design proceeding with one color at a time, filling all the areas marked with the same number. When we have completed all the numbers, we will have the entire colored figure, but only at that point, will we see the first significant result. Or we can select a “pilot” area of the drawing and fill in all the different numbers of that area using the different colors. In this way, we will obtain, in shorter times, a part of the painting completed in its entirety, «Quick Win», and we will have started to become familiar with the painting itself «Capability Improvement».
Starting from a concrete and defined area, a KPI or a critical datum we can support you in defining:
- Source data and impacts relating to the critical area;
- Data Model, Lineage Mapping;
- Quality criteria, measures, indicators.
If you have already done all this, you can contact us to make sure that you have followed all the correct steps.
DMMA Tool
A “Maturity Assessment” allows you to define the state of maturity of the entire company, a business unit or a department thanks to the application of frameworks and standards recognized and used as “best practice” and “benchmark” of reference “.
Depending on the size of the area affected by the analysis, the Assessment can be a very punctual and fast intervention (a few days) with immediate feedback for the Business and Stakeholders.

DMO & DGO
DATA MANAGEMENT AND GOVERNANCE OFFICE FROM SET UP TO FULL RUN
“Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.” – Henry Ford
- Today more than 60% * of the corporate companies have a CDO or some sort of dedicated Data Management structure.
- Reasons for a DM structure vary from regulation requirements to proactive Data Asset Management and valorisation, from multi business organisation to individual product and service companies; however, independently on size, maturity and environmental causes, Data Management is a complex and multi-layered discipline which require a different set of technical (modelling, data architecture) and soft skills (stewardship and ownership), not always all available within the organisation or needed full time.
- It is no news that operations are not linear endeavours and often the right balance between on and off peak makes the difference between failure and success.
- With a team a multi-skilled professional and international recognised Data Management authorities, FIT is able to provide 360 and 365 CDO services, Data Management and Data Governance Office support (DMO & DGO) to strengthen and support your existing team or helping you to set up a measured and functional one from its early stages, avoiding common pitfall and costly re-start.

Community
DATA MANAGEMENT COMMUNITY
“You may delay, but time will not.” – Benjamin Franklin
- What we often hear is that «Culture eats Strategy for Breakfast every day» and «evolution/re-evolution» born and grow from the bottom…well…we agree…sort of…
- We strongly believe in inspired leadership, 360 engagement and the need for a clear, whilst flexible and evolving Business and Data Strategy; however, people are the lifeblood of any corporate reality and their culture ultimately is the culture of the company they work for. Addressing one without the other strongly limit our joint capacity to succeed.
- Too often you will hear about «digital-transformation» and «data-driven» company and objects but ultimately it is only when your work base will embrace the «wind of change» and fully recognise and share the appetite for a digital and data driven reality that the real change happen.
- At FIT we have helped numerous Executives, HR and Change Directors to set up functional and sustainable Data Management Communities, from inception to their professional development and support and ultimate empowerment and autonomy.
- Using a mixed of tools, best practises, experiences from successful examples all over the World, we will help you and your staff to create the next generation of Data Management Champions and Heroes.
