28. Assessment Philosophy
Design First, then Assess for Capability
• Design ideal model based on
Stakeholder input
• Pros:
– Stakeholder buy in /ownership
– Ideal solution from the start
• Cons:
– Data not capable of supporting model
– Project “hangs” or collapses
Assess first, Design to Capability
• Understand current data status, design
model to capability with specific
maturity goals
• Pros:
– Design will succeed
– Rapid transparency to data
“imperfections”
• Cons:
– Resistance to evolving/maturing model

29. The Myth of Perfect Data
Myth:
You need perfectly clean and aligned
data to get insight to service costing
Fact:
You need data that is “clean enough”
to allow your model to function
consistently to get insight to
service costing
Copyright 2016 Thavron Solutions, LLC
30. Creating a Data Assessment Plan
• Measuring gaps to the template- Identifying issues early,
• Coordinate with Source System owners/SMEs
• Extracts in raw format for assessment
• Careful measurement of Stability and completeness
• Calculation of maturity and readiness
