Our team takes a portfolio approach to recommending investments into data capabilities. Investments may encompass people, process, or technology, and are evaluated based on their risk-controlled values to the business. Strategies are pursued that positively impact revenue generation, cost savings, or risk reduction, with minimum cost and execution risks. This approach generates value and controls risk in the face of a continuously changing business and IT landscape.
We take a targeted approach to data governance and focus on using best practices to capture the “as is” state of critical business tasks and the data that supports them.
The Virtual Forge helps companies to define and progress the programs that turn data into business value. We work with data leaders and consumers within your business to clearly define where investments can be made in your data ecosystem to drive a quantifiable return, and then we align internal and external teams to accomplish those goals.
We help companies collect the critical metadata that allows these processes to operate properly, and set up programs that reinforce data strategy and governance practices moving forward.
Data is everywhere within a business, and it is important to a diverse network of stakeholders who need it to perform. Making sense of how to best curate and protect that critical information and use it for the good of the business is a complex process. The Virtual Forge helps businesses simplify, prioritize, and align strategic data programs for maximum business value.
Data Governance programs fail when they don’t produce sufficient value to the stakeholders who support them. The Virtual Forge helps business implement and sustain practical governance programs that align to business value goals. This alignment sustains enthusiasm and progress while maintaining critical outputs such as dictionaries, glossaries, catalogs, and data governance KPIs.
For data to be effectively used in a business it must be trusted. Nothing erodes data trust more than poor quality data that may contain errors, missing elements, or other non-conformities.
The Virtual Forge works with businesses to define and implement data quality measurements and KPIs that expose the true quality of your data sources and provide clear progress metrics for quality improvement and ongoing monitoring activities.
The Virtual Forge has extensive experience in the implementation of data architecture, analytics, AI, and IT systems. Whether considering and investment in data/analytics solutions, preparing for a data migration or integration effort, or looking for ways to improve the performance of your ecosystem, The Virtual Forge can help ensure your strategy is sound, and assist in realizing that strategy through expert implementation support.
A data problem within a business is often just a symptom. People, processes, and technology all create, interpret, modify, and destroy data continuously and contribute to the complexity of diagnosis and solutioning.
Getting to root causes, common understandings, and actionable solutions takes a persistent and multidisciplinary approach. The Virtual Forge has significant experience working with businesses to solve these challenges, as well as executing data improvement workstreams that rapidly produce real world results.
When the meaning, purpose, and quality of data is unknown it cannot be maximised for business value. We help clients cut through the confusion with data governance and management practices to create trusted data products.
When a business fully understands its portfolio of data investments and the win worth of each, the process of selecting and implementing the highest return data opportunities becomes faster, simpler, and less risky.
Protecting data integrity is important, particularly for the critical data that drives your business forward. Our team assists clients in determining exactly where data management and protection investments are most beneficial.
A good data strategy connects fit-for-purpose data to the people who can use it to increase business performance. Our business-led data strategy ensures that data products are a perfect fit for the user stakeholders and have the agility to keep up with changing business needs.

Within the Data Strategy program we capture and rank use cases for data, which are used to precisely target data investments. Data sets within scope of selected investments become the prioritized targets for the Data Governance Program. This ensures both programs remain nimble, relevant, and effective.
Our experts work with your team to baseline your current data strategy. We learn how data is used and discussed through your business and how the organization’s data activities align with the vision of the leadership and the insights of the data consumers.
The assessment stage concludes with an overview of the data maturity of the organization. This artifact is a synthesis of the business and technical information gathered from your organization’s data team and helps to illustrate areas of strength and weakness to inform the future strategy.
The Virtual Forge team works collaboratively with your stakeholders to create a blueprint for the future. This process seeks to create alignment on the most effective path to both close gaps in the maturity assessment and capture opportunities revealed through the strategy discovery sessions. We work with you to develop practical, fully ROI-backed plans that move your organization’s initiatives forward using data.
Data Sprints are discrete units of work that achieve a goal outlined in the blueprint. Our team applies expert resources to fully perform the outlined work activities or assembles blended teams mixing internal and external resources to accomplish the program’s goals. Data Sprints are scoped to provide quick wins, produce measurable ROI, and exercise the strategy and governance frameworks so that the organization can independently manage these activities in the future.
