Data Strategy Reconsidered challenges the conventional wisdom that causes most data strategies to fail. Based on twenty-five years of experience and hundreds of enterprise implementations, Kevin Lewis reveals why common approaches-building business cases for direct value, creating comprehensive data foundations, swinging between centralization extremes-consistently fall short in practice. The book presents seven counterintuitive principles that actually deliver results: targeting business initiatives rather than direct business value; building for change rather than all requirements; balancing responsibility without polarizing; creating coherent architecture; focusing on the future instead of rewriting legacy; planning programs not just projects; and embedding strategy into operations. Drawing from implementations across financial services, manufacturing, healthcare, retail, and telecommunications, this practical guide provides immediately applicable frameworks without abstract theory. Written for Chief Data Officers, enterprise architects, data leaders, and executives, it offers a proven roadmap for organizations building new data strategies or fixing ones that aren''t delivering results.
