With the topic being so broad, this was a difficult course to land. There were some good nuggets in here, and some key topics raised including linking to the business strategy, collaboration with other teams, and picking somewhere high value to start.
However, 3 areas need attention:
1. Some of the sections were so vague as to be essentially useless if you didn't have a reasonably deep background already. (Hard to address without making the course longer.)
2. The course makes the assumption that a data strategy should be 100% about analytics, with other aspects such as governance, data ops, privacy and security being in the context of serving analytics. This is a common mistake. With the current global focus on cost and efficiency, organisations would do well to ensure their data strategies include the data supporting critical business processes at scale.
3. The section on different uses of data was all over the place, presenting lists with different types of thing together.
