We can help you become a more data-driven organisation

Why becoming data-driven matters

According to Gartner, “transforming into a (truly) digital business is the number one priority of most organisations. However, a digital business cannot exist without data and analytics. If an organization struggles with digital transformation, perhaps they haven’t given enough thought to data and the potential for valuable insights.”

As well as valuable insights, there is also huge potential to enrich your digital products using intelligence that is currently buried in your data. Analysing and surfacing the data, making it available to your digital end-products, presents endless opportunities for innovation and to drive measurable results from your digital platform.

Gartner goes on to say that “Many enterprises face a major shift when considering their data-driven ambitions. This shift does not simply change the allocation of work; it changes the nature of their business and the nature of work related to data and analytics. Data and analytics must be woven into everything. This shift doesn’t occur without an executive who is focused on making it happen.”

If that executive is you, we can help you.

Outcomes

Define and get aligned on goals and metrics, typically using Objectives & Key Results as a framework, to make sure you have clear and measurable desired outcomes.

Analytics

Once you have a clear focus on measurable outcomes, implement the analytics you need to measure them and move towards an organisation that uses data and facts to determine priorities.

Innovation

Once you can measure the outcomes you want, implement a testing framework and drive towards a culture of experimentation, measurement, and data-driven decisions, where facts matter more than opinion.

What our clients say

"Elsevier had a very challenging programme on which we were embarking. Success would mean step-change and we needed someone who understood the nature of the interface between product and technology, how to manage software engineering functions and how to help lead digital product design. They are particularly good at understanding the skills and experience needed, as well as the intangibles, which on the surface are not always clear. Their team brings the wisdom and experience for which we were searching."
Alexander Craig, VP Software Development– Elsevier Technology
"We needed a strong, high quality partner to help accelerate our digital capabilities and support the transformation of the business. I value Kelly’s input and brought him and the team at 101 Ways in when I became CPO/CTO at Just Eat. He’s a trusted partner and another brain to bounce things around with. The key is customer centricity and a results-oriented mindset - Kelly’s got that and it comes across in the team at 101 Ways. It’s about building the right thing for the user at the right time, not six months later. They’re a team that will go out of their way for you."
Fernando​ ​Fanton,​ ​​CPO/CTO​​ –​ ​Just​ ​Eat

Our name was inspired by the belief that there are many ways to do things and there isn’t one right way or ‘one size fits all’. What makes the difference is extraordinary people with tons of expertise and how well they work together.
