MAPPING VALUE IN
DATA ECOSYSTEMS
But how much is all this data worth? Data’s
value comes down to how unique it is and
how it will be used, and by whom.
Understanding the value in all these small
bits of information that need to be
gathered, sifted, and analyzed is a tricky
proposition, particularly since
organizations cannot nail down the value
of data until they are able to clearly specify
its uses, either immediate or potential.

The Data-Driven Planning
Framework
Strategic planning that focuses on
and effectively uses all of these
types of data is "data-driven
strategic planning."
