The Problem: Fragmented Data Systems in Critical Infrastructure
Powering the Future with Data is essential for organisations managing critical infrastructure. A leading energy infrastructure provider overseeing electricity and gas networks requires robust data strategies to optimise operations. However, fragmented systems often prevent seamless, efficient processes.
For over 40 years, Park Lane has helped businesses facing similar challenges. No environment operates with perfectly integrated systems. Instead, success lies in data maturity, structuring, managing and utilising data effectively to drive long-term improvements.
The Solution: A Data Maturity Assessment for Strategic Growth
With the support of the Group Executive and sponsorship from the Chief Digital Officer, Park Lane’s director and principal consultant led a data maturity assessment based on the DMBOKv2 framework. Over 100 business group participants contributed to a comprehensive evaluation of the energy provider’s current data capabilities.
From this, a future-state vision was developed to guide asset and investment planning. Additionally, the data strategy played a pivotal role in regulatory discussions, forming part of the government-endorsed energy transition. This roadmap provided a clear, actionable plan to improve efficiency, compliance and innovation.
The Impact: Long-Term Success Through Data Strategy
4.5% of Revenues allocated to data and technology leaner than industry standards while maximising ROI.
- Enhanced collaboration across teams for seamless workflows.
- Streamlined processes for faster, data-driven decision-making.
- Data as a strategic asset to fuel future energy innovations.
This transformation proves that a strong data strategy is more than an IT initiative, it’s a business enabler that ensures resilience, efficiency and long-term growth.
