The University of Washington’s Strategic Plan for Enterprise Data & Analytics: A Year in the Making

Presentation Summary

Rob McDade, University of Washington

In this presentation, Rob McDade will focus on the process developed and applied within the University of Washington's Enterprise Data and Analytics team to implement a strategic roadmap that created a shared focus and vision for a large BI team. We will show how the process helped to grow the strategic thinking acumen of the team's leadership, created alignment across disparate teams, and allowed the team to increase productivity and credibility in a political and fast changing environment. The talk will provide example exercises and artifacts that were produced to craft and document the team's strategic roadmap.
