The biggest mistakes to avoid if you want value from data
Many organisations invest heavily in data initiatives but fall into common traps that undermine their returns. One of the most common is simply building slick dashboards powered by ungoverned Excel spreadsheets that crumble under scrutiny. Equally damaging is constant manual data entry, where teams waste hours copying and pasting data into PowerPoint presentations (think Board packs and client presentations), introducing errors and making insights stale before they reach decision-makers.
The ownership vacuum represents another critical failure. Without clear data ownership, nobody truly understands data quality, lineage, or business context. When everyone assumes someone else is responsible, data issues multiply silently until a critical decision goes catastrophically wrong.
Perhaps most ironically, organisations often deploy expensive processing platforms that cost more than the value they deliver - Skyo Digital can help you avoid this often costly mistake True data value comes from governance, automation, clear ownership, and right-sizing your technology to actual business needs, not from impressive tools built on shaky foundations.
