What does a data mandate deliver first?

Usually governance, not a platform. At Adeo the supplier and referencing data model was rebuilt to run at marketplace scale, and that — not a new warehouse — is what cut referencing lead time from 124 days to 15 and let 7,000 suppliers on.

Is master data a data problem or a supply chain problem?

Both, which is why it sits here. At Chantelle, order orchestration and stock allocation were re-engineered across every sales channel, and on-time-in-full delivery moved from 85% to 98%. The data model was the mechanism; the promise to the customer was the outcome.

How does data connect to the AI werk?

It precedes it. A model on an ungoverned estate produces confident output from unverified input, which launders a data problem into a decision. AI mandates therefore start on the platform and the lineage — the group big-data estate at AXA was industrialized before the products that ran on it were built.

What is declared rather than proven?

Analytics engineering, streaming and data mesh. They are in scope and no published case carries them, so they are listed as declared. The proven ground is strategy, platform, governance and master data.

arms and mandates

Advisory Interim CDAO CDO

Data work earns its place when a number moves. This werk covers the strategy, the platform, the governance and the master data that a commercial promise depends on.

The offer

what is bought, and in what shape

A defensible data estate: one platform, one quality contract, one governed path from raw source to a number an executive committee can act on.

Data strategy and target platform

Use-case-led strategy, target architecture on a cloud warehouse or lakehouse, and the build sequence that gets there without a big bang.

Governance, catalogue and lineage

Ownership model, catalogue, glossary and end-to-end lineage so every figure can be traced back to its source.

Master data and data quality

Golden records for customer, product and supplier, plus quality contracts and observability that fail a pipeline before it reaches a decision.

Analytics and data products

Modelled layers, BI that people actually use, and data products with an owner, an SLA and a consumer.

Data diagnostic4 to 8 weeks

Estate assessment, target platform, governance model, roadmap.
