Data Culture & Adoption
Build the skills, behaviours and confidence needed to turn data into value
We help organisations embed data and analytics into everyday decision-making. Our Data Culture & Adoption services focus on people, behaviours and ways of working, so data initiatives deliver lasting impact rather than short-term success.
Why Data Culture & Adoption Matters
Many data programmes fail to deliver value not because of technology, but because adoption never truly happens. Common challenges include:
• Data platforms that are technically sound but poorly used
• Low confidence in data and analytics across the organisation
• Skills gaps that limit self-service and slow delivery
• Resistance to change or unclear expectations around data use
• Data teams working in isolation from the wider business
Without strong adoption and cultural alignment, even the best data platforms struggle to deliver meaningful outcomes.

How We Deliver Data Culture & Adoption
We take a practical, people-centred approach that recognises adoption as an ongoing journey rather than a one-off intervention.
Our work typically includes:
Assessing data maturity and readiness for change
We evaluate skills, behaviours and ways of working to understand where adoption is strong and where support is needed.
Designing adoption frameworks aligned to business goals
We define clear adoption approaches that connect data initiatives to real business outcomes and responsibilities.
Embedding data into roles, processes and decision-making
We help organisations integrate data into everyday workflows so it becomes part of how work gets done.
Delivering targeted training and enablement
We provide practical training and hands-on enablement tailored to different roles and levels of data maturity.
Supporting sustained cultural change
We work with leaders and teams to reinforce behaviours, measure progress and sustain adoption over time.
Our focus is on making data accessible, relevant and trusted across the organisation.
